MURSIC - EN PROMENADE

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 wipe-offs, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, on the contrary, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white which places the contrast at the heart of the composition. "The canvas is a search, an exploration," says Gérard Mursic.

Working the forms and colors, varying the rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements but does not resemble each other.

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 evaporates, disperses, or gets lost, obliging the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
