MURSIC - LA BAIE

Gérard Mursic’s subjects are as rich as they are varied. Natural landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, still lifes, or floral arrangements are evocated in the artist’s oil paintings in a spontaneous and furtive manner. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which favors intuition over expression, sensuality over the intellect.

Proceeding through additions, removals, and wipe-offs, the artist develops a distinctive technique producing subtle effects or, on the contrary, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white which places contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” affirms 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 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 whirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or loses itself, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, to appropriate the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
