MURSIC - VILLAGE

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.

Proceeding by additions, subtractions, wiping, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, on the contrary, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolors, he prioritizes 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 each other but does not look alike.

Because 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 whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or is lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, to appropriate the canvas, projecting their own imagination onto it.
