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
This painting explores the philosophical relationship between body and mind as articulated in Spinoza's work, presenting the individual as both a physical body and a thinking mind where the mind becomes the idea of the body. Part of the Research on Tensions collection, the work investigates the identity of order between extension and thought through visual form.
Black dominates the composition, creating deep structural areas that anchor the work's geometric organization. Warm orange and brown tones appear throughout substantial portions of the surface, while yellow-orange accents provide luminous contrast points. The oil technique on marouflage support allows for smooth color transitions and layered applications that build the work's complex spatial relationships.
The painting measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs approximately 200 grams, created on marouflage mounted to medium wood panel. Certificate of authenticity number 20221231-0010 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature located on the back. The piece represents Quercy's investigation into philosophical concepts through contemporary painting techniques.
