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
Madama Butterfly explores contemporary figurative expression through abstract geometric forms and symbolic elements. Part of the Untamed Creations collection, this work transforms recognizable imagery into a modernist visual language that bridges representation and abstraction.
The composition centers on bold black forms that create strong contrasts against lighter areas of the paper. Charcoal allows for rich tonal variations, from deep blacks to subtle grays that model dimensional forms. Geometric shapes intersect with organic curves, while linear elements create structural frameworks throughout the surface. The medium's responsive nature enables both precise detail work and broader gestural passages.
The drawing measures 21.0 × 28.5 cm on paper, classified as a small-format contemporary work. Created in France in 2022, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0024 and bears the artist's signature on the front. The work is catalogued as AQC0438 within Arnaud Quercy Creations and represents the artist's approach to figurative abstraction through traditional drawing media.
