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 expressive charcoal drawing explores the fusion of urban and natural elements through abstract forms. Part of the "Nature in the city" collection, the work examines how wildlife adapts to metropolitan environments, transforming recognizable bird forms into geometric interpretations that reflect both organic movement and architectural structures.
The composition features a stylized bird rendered in bold charcoal strokes, with geometric shapes and linear elements creating a dynamic interplay between curved natural forms and angular urban references. Dark charcoal areas dominate the surface, while lighter tones provide contrast and suggest depth. The drawing technique emphasizes expressive mark-making, with varied line weights and tonal gradations that give the bird form both solidity and movement.
Executed on paper using charcoal, the work measures 21.0 × 28.5 cm in a vertical format. The piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0010 and bears the artist's signature on the front. Created in France during 2022, this drawing represents Quercy's contemporary approach to urban wildlife themes, catalogued as AQC0423 within the artist's systematic documentation.
