MURSIC - MON VILLAGE

The subjects of Gérard Mursic 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, subtracting, wiping, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolour, he favors white, placing contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, a exploration,” says Gérard Mursic. Working with form and color, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights 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 lets himself be carried by his themes into a creative whirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or is lost, compelling the spectator to engage in the aesthetic process as well, to take ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
