MURSIC - MAREE HAUTE A ST MALO

Gérard Mursic’s subjects are as rich as they are varied. Natural landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, still lifes, or floral compositions are evoked in the artist’s oil paintings in a spontaneous and furtive way. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which favors intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.
By adding, removing, and wipe-aways, the artist develops a unique technique producing subtle effects or, on the contrary, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he emphasizes white, placing contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” says Gérard Mursic. Working shapes and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements but does not resemble one another.
For it is instinct that shapes the painter’s raw material. Freed from the constraints of drawing and representation, Gérard Mursic lets himself be carried away by his themes into a creative whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or gets lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, appropriating the canvas, projecting his imagination onto it.
