The city bird of Fuchu, Tokyo
About This Artwork
This work explores the intersection of urban observation and abstract form through the lens of Fuchu, a city in the Tokyo metropolis. Part of the "Nature in the city" collection, the piece captures the experience of encountering wildlife within dense urban environments. The composition transforms direct observation into a geometric meditation on coexistence.
Warm orange and tan tones dominate the composition, creating substantial areas of earthy presence that anchor the geometric forms. Light gray and steel gray elements provide structural contrast, while darker purple-gray shapes add depth and weight to the arrangement. Small accent notes of tomato red, yellow-green, and dusty blue create focal points throughout the surface. The watercolor technique allows colors to blend and separate naturally, creating soft transitions between geometric segments.
The work measures 21 × 30 cm on paper, a compact format that emphasizes intimate observation. Certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0008 documents the piece within Quercy's systematic approach to urban nature studies. The "Nature in the city" collection examines how natural elements persist and adapt within metropolitan contexts, with this Tokyo-based observation contributing to a broader investigation of urban ecology.
