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 abstract essence of California through harmonious color relationships and geometric forms. Part of the American Voyage collection, the work translates the golden warmth and coastal atmosphere of the Golden State into a contemporary visual language that bridges representation and abstraction.
Ochre tones dominate the composition, creating substantial golden areas that anchor the piece in warm earth colors. Green hues appear throughout the surface in varied intensities, from darker sea greens to lighter steel grays, establishing a cool counterpoint to the dominant warmth. Orange and yellow-orange areas provide additional heat, while blue-green passages offer atmospheric breathing space. Small accent notes of deep maroon punctuate the composition with concentrated color intensity.
The work measures 19.0 × 26.0 cm and weighs minimal as watercolor on paper. Created in 2023, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0039 with the artist's signature on the back. The piece demonstrates watercolor's capacity for both transparency and saturation, allowing colors to layer and interact while maintaining distinct geometric boundaries that organize the composition into readable zones.
