MURSIC - L'OREE DU BOIS

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

Proceeding by 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 center of the composition. "The canvas is a search, an exploration," declares Gérard Mursic. Working with 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.

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 by his themes into the creative whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or loses itself, forcing the viewer to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, making the canvas their own, projecting their imagination onto it.
