About the Item
"Les Portes du Soleil" – Gérard Stricher
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in)
Condition: Excellent
Gérard Stricher’s Les Portes du Soleil (The Gates of the Sun) is an immersive expression of movement, emotion, and vibrant energy. Through a masterful interplay of color and texture, Stricher creates a dynamic landscape where fiery reds, electric blues, and bursts of golden yellow seem to collide and transform, echoing the ever-changing forces of nature. The painting exudes a powerful sense of flow—evoking cascading light, molten earth, and rushing waters—drawing the viewer into a world that is both abstract and deeply evocative.
The title suggests a threshold, an opening to an unknown yet radiant realm. The thick, impasto layers of oil paint, a signature of Stricher’s style, give the surface a sculptural quality, allowing light to interact with every ridge and stroke. The composition is bold yet harmonious, a perfect balance between chaos and control, where the physicality of the paint itself becomes part of the narrative.
• Sculptural Depth and Movement: The rich impasto technique creates a surface that is almost three-dimensional, transforming the viewer’s experience depending on the angle of light and perspective.
• Vivid and Expressive Color Palette: The striking contrast of fiery and cool tones generates a compelling visual rhythm, keeping the eye engaged in constant discovery.
• A Sense of Immersion: At 160 x 160 cm, the painting fully envelops the viewer, making it an artwork that not only decorates a space but transforms it.
Stricher’s approach to painting is deeply intuitive, inspired by the raw energy of nature and the subconscious. His compositions often draw comparisons to Turner’s expressive landscapes and the gestural boldness of the CoBrA movement, yet his work maintains a singular and unmistakable identity.
Les Portes du Soleil is in pristine condition, professionally stretched and ready to be displayed. This piece invites contemplation, offering an ever-changing visual experience where light, texture, and color come together in a powerful, expressive dialogue.

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)
