About the Item
Un Soir a Atakama is an arresting fusion of color and sensation, where Gérard Stricher transforms the desert’s nocturnal glow into a field of expressive energy. The canvas radiates with vivid layers of pink, orange, and green, anchored by flashes of cobalt and deep shadow. Stricher’s impasto technique—thick, sculptural, and instinctive—creates a tactile topography that captures both the heat of the day and the cooling serenity of evening. The title refers to Chile’s Atacama Desert, yet the work transcends geography to evoke a spiritual landscape of memory and intensity. Light dissolves into matter; the atmosphere becomes emotion. Stricher’s chromatic contrasts pulse with rhythm, suggesting both the solitude and grandeur of the natural world. In this composition, abstraction becomes a mirror of human perception—where the fleeting moment of sunset expands into a timeless meditation on color, energy, and life’s radiant impermanence.

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)
