MURSIC - PETIT PORT

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 furtive way. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which favors intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.
By adding, removing, and wiping away, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, dynamic movements. Like 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 each other yet 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 allows himself to be carried away by his themes in the creative whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or gets lost, forcing the viewer to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
