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 way. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which privileges intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.

Working through additions, removals, and erasures, 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.

By shaping forms and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements each other but 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 away by his themes into the creative whirlpool. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or is lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
