MURSIC - PERDU DANS LA FORÊT

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

Working by additions, withdrawals, and wipe-offs, 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, an exploration," says Gérard Mursic. By shaping 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 one another.

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 swirl. 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.
