MURSIC - APRES-MIDI

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 fugitive way. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which favors intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.
Proceeding by additions, removals, and wiping, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white which places contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, a exploration,” says Gérard Mursic. Working with forms and colors, 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 the creative whirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes vanishes, disperses, or is lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, claiming the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
