About the Item
"La Chambre Interdite" – Gérard Stricher
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in)
Condition: Excellent
Gérard Stricher’s La Chambre Interdite (The Forbidden Room) is an emotionally charged composition that fuses raw expressionism with a deep sense of mystery. This striking oil painting is an interplay of vibrant colors and gestural brushstrokes, inviting the viewer into a space that is both intimate and elusive. The figures within the piece emerge and dissolve into the rich impasto surface, evoking a fragmented narrative—one of secrecy, emotion, and the blurred lines between reality and abstraction.
Stricher’s use of fiery reds, deep purples, and electric blues creates a dynamic tension, as if the scene is in constant flux. The faces are partially obscured, suggesting the passage of time, memories surfacing and fading. The heavily textured layers of paint add a sculptural quality, allowing light to dance across the surface, transforming the painting’s energy depending on the viewer’s perspective.
• Intense Emotional Resonance: The figures are rendered with both force and fragility, capturing an evocative atmosphere that leaves room for interpretation.
• Rich, Sculptural Texture: Stricher’s signature thick impasto application gives the painting a tactile depth, making it feel almost alive.
• A Narrative of Mystery and Reflection: The title, La Chambre Interdite, suggests a hidden space, a world of unspoken thoughts and veiled emotions, making it a piece that continuously reveals new layers of meaning.
Gérard Stricher’s paintings exist in the realm of both the tangible and the subconscious, where colors and forms create stories that words cannot fully express. His work has been compared to the emotional landscapes of Turner and the gestural power of the CoBrA movement, yet remains distinctly his own.
La Chambre Interdite is in pristine condition, professionally stretched and ready to be displayed. This is an artwork that invites deep contemplation, offering a compelling presence that transforms any space it inhabits.

Gerard Stricher
Gérard Stricher, an abstract impressionist, uses oil paints as his medium to create vibrant landscapes and nature. His paintings take the viewer on a welcoming journey; soon absorbing one to an experience in his world. Drawing from a basis of COBRA, his style begins to take life as these resonances dim. Gérard's work "ignites in great impulses and curves, coming alive in a flood mastery of colors, with the assurance of the gesture generating forms according to an intense rhythm, breathing pauses appeased, a chromatic autonomy, and, little by little, emerges a subtle seduction. All this leaves footprints, consolidating then seizing the work with all the ardor of pictorial gesture."(Manfred Schneckenburger)
