MURSIC - VILLAGE et Bateaux

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 favors 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 prioritizes white, placing contrast at the heart of the composition. "The canvas is a search, an exploration," declares Gérard Mursic. Working with forms 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 away by his themes into the creative swirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or gets lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, claiming the canvas for themselves, projecting their imagination onto it.
