About the Item
"La Closerie" – Gérard Stricher
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in)
Condition: Excellent
Gérard Stricher’s La Closerie is a radiant composition that captures the boundless energy of nature through dynamic movement, rich texture, and an electrifying interplay of colors. This large-scale oil painting envelops the viewer in a world where land, sky, and water seem to merge in a dreamlike symphony of form and emotion. Thick impasto layers create an almost sculptural presence, lending the work a sense of depth and raw vitality.
The title, La Closerie, evokes the intimacy of a hidden garden, a sanctuary of flourishing life and organic harmony. Blues and purples expand across the canvas like a vast sky or reflective water, while bursts of crimson, orange, and yellow suggest blooming fields drenched in sunlight. Dripping strokes and fluid transitions between colors create a sensation of perpetual movement—an invitation to step into a realm where nature is untamed yet deeply poetic.
• Sculptural Paint Application: Stricher’s signature impasto technique makes the surface richly textured, transforming light and perspective as the viewer moves around the piece.
• A Vision of Nature Reimagined: While non-representational, the painting evokes a landscape alive with energy, where elements of land and sky coexist in a harmonious yet unpredictable dialogue.
• A Statement in Scale and Emotion: At 160 x 160 cm, the canvas offers a fully immersive experience, allowing the viewer to engage with its complexity and shifting hues over time.
Stricher’s work is often likened to the emotional intensity of Turner’s landscapes and the raw expressiveness of the CoBrA movement. He channels a deep connection to nature, movement, and sensation, constructing compositions that exist between abstraction and subconscious memory.
La Closerie is in pristine condition, professionally stretched and ready to be displayed. Its dynamic presence makes it an ideal addition to any collection, offering a lasting and evolving dialogue between color, form, and emotion.

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)
