MURSIC - NIGHT CITY

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 fleeting manner. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which prioritizes intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.
By adding, removing, and wiping, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white, placing the contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” says Gérard Mursic. Working with forms and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements but does not resemble one another.
Because it is instinct that shapes the painter’s raw material. Free from the constraints of drawing and representation, Gérard Mursic lets himself be carried away by his themes into the creative whirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or gets lost, forcing the viewer to join in the aesthetic process, to own the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
