MURSIC - MAREE MONTANTE

Gérard Mursic's subjects are as rich as they are varied. Natural landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, still lifes, and floral arrangements are evoked in the artist's oil paintings in a spontaneous and fleeting way. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which favors intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.
Proceeding by additions, removals, and wipes, 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,” says Gérard Mursic. Working with forms and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with light and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements but does not resemble.
For it is instinct that shapes the painter’s raw material. Free from the constraints of drawing and representation, Gérard Mursic allows himself to be carried by his themes into the creative whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or becomes lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
