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 contemporary watercolor explores the tropical essence of Hawaii through a fragmented, cubist-inspired approach. Part of the American Voyage collection, the work reconstructs island memories through geometric abstraction and layered transparency. The piece examines how travel experiences transform into visual fragments that overlap and interact in memory.
The composition organizes warm earth tones and cool blues into interlocking geometric forms. Rosy brown tones appear throughout the surface, creating substantial presence alongside red-orange areas that provide warmth. Blue-violet hues fill large sections of the composition, while violet tones create depth through transparent layering. Bright sky blue accents punctuate the arrangement, adding luminous contrast to the predominantly muted palette. The watercolor medium allows colors to blend at edges while maintaining distinct geometric boundaries.
The work measures 16 × 26 cm on paper and weighs minimal amounts typical of watercolor studies. Created in 2023 as part of Quercy's American Voyage series, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0049. The artist's signature appears on the back of the work. The vertical format suits the architectural quality of the overlapping forms, while the compact scale emphasizes the intimate nature of personal travel memories translated into abstract visual language.
