Arnaud Quercy is a Parisian artist working across painting, music, and sculpture. His practice is grounded in Ideamorphism — the principle that a work of art does not carry meaning, but triggers it. Each piece is engineered to diffract differently through each person who encounters it.
He creates and exhibits at Art Quam Anima, his gallery-atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.
About This Artwork
Blindsight explores the paradox of perception without conscious awareness, drawing from neurological research into patients who can navigate obstacles despite cortical blindness. This work forms part of the Research on Tensions collection, examining the boundaries between conscious sight and unconscious visual processing. The painting investigates how the mind constructs reality from fragmented sensory input.
Deep black tones dominate the composition, creating an enveloping darkness that occupies most of the surface. Warm orange and brown accents emerge from this void, suggesting forms that hover between recognition and abstraction. Gray tones provide structural elements, while subtle yellow highlights create focal points within the shadowed space. The oil technique allows for smooth color transitions, building layers that shift between opacity and translucency.
The work measures 21.0 × 29.5 cm on marouflage paper mounted to medium wood panel, creating an intimate viewing experience. Certificate of authenticity number 20221231-0011 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the back. This compact format supports the work's investigation of perception at the threshold of visibility, where forms emerge from and dissolve into darkness.
