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
Psyche Unveiled explores the internal landscape of consciousness through abstract geometric forms. Part of the Research on Tensions collection, this work examines the relationship between visible structure and hidden psychological states. The drawing uses charcoal to create a visual map of mental processes.
The composition centers on overlapping geometric shapes that create depth through layered transparency. Dark charcoal areas anchor the lower portion while lighter tones fill the upper regions. Circular forms appear throughout the surface, connected by linear elements that suggest movement between different psychological states. The paper support allows the charcoal to create both sharp edges and soft gradations.
This miniature-scale drawing demonstrates Quercy's contemporary approach to psychological abstraction. The work carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0071 and represents the artist's 2023 investigation into tension as a creative force. Created in France, the piece uses traditional charcoal techniques to render modern concepts of mental structure.
