  :: Oneiric Symbolism - 1982 / 1998 :: Oil Paintings by Richard MERIC  

Paintings designed and carried out between 1982 and 1998, following a technique of more "traditional" :
oil on canvas, in successive layers, fat on thin, which means a long time of dryins (in fact, oxidation) of the layers. Preparation being sometimes spread out over several months, design o some of the images over several years, the 24 paintings which are gathered in this unit belong to one and only confused temporality.

Places of design and of realization were multiple, and distributed between the extreme south of Spain, the south east of France and the north of Germany. Simple flashes of inspiration or long maturation of an original impression, these images have in common only one and surrealist topic: they are self sufficiant and carry each one a quiet and timeless message that my own unconscious addresses to the unconscious of the observer.

Symbolists Images, in the meaning that the elements which compose them, detached of their usual environment, mean far more than the sense which is to them generally and normally allotted.
Oneiric, owing to the fact of this hidden meaning, different from the Tarot,
is not directed by an interpretation of traditional or esoteric base.

The elements and their layout rise from pure intuition of the author, selected and laid out according
to free associations of idea without intervention of the conscious analysis. With the way of the scenes
that one perceives in the dreams, these images present an hyperrealist aspect
but many ways can be interpreted according to the sensitivity of the observer.

They do not have any preset significance but are not less "speaking" for whom lets rock by his own daydream, for who lets gain by the various atmospheres.
