Gérard Stricher’s Les Terres Brûlées (The Scorched Lands) is a powerful composition that speaks to both destruction and renewal. With thick, sculptural layers of impasto and a palette that oscillates between fiery reds, deep blacks, and flashes of vibrant blues and yellows, Stricher captures a landscape in flux—one where the forces of nature, time, and rebirth converge.
The painting radiates energy, as if it were caught in the aftermath of a great elemental event. Earth and sky seem to dissolve into one another, while bold strokes and textured drips create an illusion of shifting terrain. This is not a passive landscape but one that breathes and pulses with life, evoking the resilience of nature in the face of change.
• Expressive Texture and Depth: Stricher’s signature impasto technique adds a sculptural quality to the painting, making it feel almost three-dimensional.
• A Story of Transformation: Les Terres Brûlées suggests both devastation and rebirth, making it a thought-provoking and emotionally charged work.
• Masterful Use of Color: The dramatic contrast between warm and cool tones creates a striking visual balance, capturing both tension and harmony.
Stricher’s paintings are deeply intuitive, channeling raw emotion through color and movement. His work has been compared to Turner’s atmospheric intensity and the visceral energy of the CoBrA movement, yet remains uniquely his own.
Les Terres Brûlées is in pristine condition, professionally stretched and ready to be displayed. This piece invites contemplation, evoking the ever-changing nature of landscapes—both external and internal.

A man possessed, Gérard Stricher starts out with elemental outlines, telluric lines of force and prodigious flows of mental lava. Then throws away the key to the codes. Van Gogh, CoBrA and the archaic powers of forgotten countries are summoned up. Brief life and insane health: between the two a fiery art triggers our affective landscape. Close-up on the originary upsurges. The old world has to be remade. Real life is already always there.
Part invisible figuration, part embodied abstraction, extreme tensions driving creative chaos offer sovereign incantations of space. Singularly plastic structures emerge. And landscapes of immensity took horizons into the far distance. Multiple exploded forms traversed by all the world's dips and bumps. Working at his primal earth-matter from within, Stricher rips the picture surface. A fiery, untamed notation of disfigurement in the salutary no man's land of precluded meaning. Shredded space of a ceaselessly hacked art. Stricher's devastated landscapes are arrested blinding insights. The fever of the deeps pervades these explosive chromatics and visionary upheavals. Frenetic pre- world landscapes bare of all cultural landmarks sabotage the inertia of reality and take root in the throes of desire. A strange sacrificial energy. In this art of brawling and battling the sources of the picture surface exult. The veins of the earth's deep blood are its pathways to the universe.
An earth-dweller to be reckoned with, Stricher comes on with a luminously barbarous art, one exulting in a primal well-being suffused with the devouring immensity of life and barely tamed magma. He tests out the solar vigour of those vital transgressions that sweep away our lives and our voids. His painting plots a course between stark chromatic planes and unyielding structural signs, between the breathing of buried flesh and a labyrinth of unsparing signs, between stylistic monumentality and the shamanically "charged". Here and there, though, are tiny, delicate touches imbued with infinite sensitivity. Here and there Gérard Stricher releases masses of psychic oxygen into a space spattered with carnal profundities.
