MURSIC - NUIT CANICULE

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 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 that produces subtle effects or, on the contrary, dynamic movements. Like watercolor, he favors white, placing contrast at the center of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” says Gérard Mursic. Working with forms and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between things that complement each other but do not look alike.
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 away by his themes into 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.
