MURSIC - PERDUS DANS LA FORET

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 furtive 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, conversely, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white, placing contrast at the heart of the composition. "The canvas is a search, an exploration," declares Gérard Mursic.
Working with shapes 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. Freed from the constraints of drawing and representation, Gérard Mursic lets himself be carried by his themes into a creative whirlwind. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or gets lost, obliging the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, to appropriate the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
