MURSIC - LA BAIE

Gérard Mursic's subjects are as rich as they are varied. Natural landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, still lifes or botanical arrangements 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 through additions, removals, wiping, 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 heart of the composition. « The canvas is a search, an exploration, » asserts 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.
Because 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 swirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses or gets lost, obliging the viewer to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
