MURSIC - LA BAIE

Gérard Mursic's subjects are as rich and varied as they are. 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 favors intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.

Proceeding by additions, removals, and wiping, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, 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," says Gérard Mursic.

Working with shapes and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements yet 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 by his themes into the creative whirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes vanishes, disperses, or loses itself, forcing the viewer to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas and projecting their imagination onto it.
