About the Item

An oil panting on Canvas, inspired by imaginary nature scenes where water, springs, trees, flowers, skies, assemble in a bright multicolor dance in thick layers of oil paint applied by knife and hand, enhanced by touches of Acrylic and Spray paint. The canvas is stretched 130cm x 160cm (51"x 63") and placed into a thin oak floater frame. "In "Le jardin des Sources "The water springs Garden" Gerard Stricher renders a Wonderland of a water stream and springs running through a fantastic colorful Glade. Through the thick oil paint layers we can imagine reeds swaying in the flow and wind, bees and fireflies hovering over the Flower petals lining the vale and watercress growing on the embankment. " Nicolas A. Curator Galerie l'Atelier 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) figuration, abstraction, chromatics, pathways, art, luminous, barbarous, exult, nature, trees, river, flowers, foliage, bright, vivid, abstract, oil paint, express, expression, expressionism, colors, colorful, France, French artist, sensitivity, imagination, landscapes, tensions, magma, blue
