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 watercolor explores the architectural rhythms and urban geometry of Istanbul through abstract forms that echo the city's layered complexity. Part of the "Nature in the city" collection, the work transforms observational experience into geometric relationships that capture the essence of urban feline movement through space.
Warm ochre and rosybrown tones dominate the composition, creating substantial areas of earth-toned color that anchor the geometric forms. Darker blue-gray elements provide structural contrast, while small accents of yellow-green and deep red-orange punctuate the arrangement. The watercolor medium allows transparent layers to build depth, with wet-on-dry techniques creating crisp geometric edges alongside softer color transitions.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper, positioned as the fourth variation in this series exploring urban themes. Certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0013 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the back. The medium format supports the geometric complexity while maintaining clarity in the color relationships between warm and cool elements.
