MURSIC - FLORAISON

Gérard Mursic’s subjects are as rich as they are varied. Natural landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, still lifes, or floral arrangements 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 wiping, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, on the contrary, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white, placing contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” declares Gérard Mursic. Working with shapes and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what completes each other but does not resemble one another.
For it is instinct that shapes the painter’s raw material. Free from the constraints of drawing and representation, Gérard Mursic lets himself be carried by his themes into the creative whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or loses itself, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
