"La Chambre Interdite" – Gérard Stricher
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in)
Condition: Excellent
Gérard Stricher’s La Chambre Interdite (The Forbidden Room) is an emotionally charged composition that fuses raw expressionism with a deep sense of mystery. This striking oil painting is an interplay of vibrant colors and gestural brushstrokes, inviting the viewer into a space that is both intimate and elusive. The figures within the piece emerge and dissolve into the rich impasto surface, evoking a fragmented narrative—one of secrecy, emotion, and the blurred lines between reality and abstraction.
Stricher’s use of fiery reds, deep purples, and electric blues creates a dynamic tension, as if the scene is in constant flux. The faces are partially obscured, suggesting the passage of time, memories surfacing and fading. The heavily textured layers of paint add a sculptural quality, allowing light to dance across the surface, transforming the painting’s energy depending on the viewer’s perspective.
• Intense Emotional Resonance: The figures are rendered with both force and fragility, capturing an evocative atmosphere that leaves room for interpretation.
• Rich, Sculptural Texture: Stricher’s signature thick impasto application gives the painting a tactile depth, making it feel almost alive.
• A Narrative of Mystery and Reflection: The title, La Chambre Interdite, suggests a hidden space, a world of unspoken thoughts and veiled emotions, making it a piece that continuously reveals new layers of meaning.
Gérard Stricher’s paintings exist in the realm of both the tangible and the subconscious, where colors and forms create stories that words cannot fully express. His work has been compared to the emotional landscapes of Turner and the gestural power of the CoBrA movement, yet remains distinctly his own.
La Chambre Interdite is in pristine condition, professionally stretched and ready to be displayed. This is an artwork that invites deep contemplation, offering a compelling presence that transforms any space it inhabits.
Gérard Stricher was born in 1948 in Sarrebourg. He studied engineering in Paris from 1967 to 1971. One could define Stricher as a conquering expressionist whose painting is the stake to conquer, without existential or social message.
