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 abstract work explores the musical concept of metabole through visual transformation and harmonic color relationships. Part of the Untamed Creations collection, the painting translates the fluidity found in musical modulation into a dynamic composition that balances geometric precision with organic flow.
The composition divides into distinct zones with warm red tones filling most areas of the canvas. Light pink and tan colors appear throughout the upper section, while deeper burgundy and russet tones occupy the lower portion. A bold red vertical element cuts through the center, intersecting with circular and angular forms. Small accents of ochre yellow and dark purple provide contrast against the dominant red family. The acrylic medium creates smooth color transitions and allows precise geometric shapes to interact with softer, more fluid passages.
The work measures 21.0 × 29.5 cm and weighs minimal as an acrylic painting on paper. Created in 2023, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0073 with the artist's signature on the back. The piece was sold in January 2025 to a private collector in Paris, France, removing it from the available market.
