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 Florida's luminous character through geometric abstraction and layered transparency. Part of the American Voyage collection, the work translates the state's bright atmosphere into overlapping forms that suggest architectural elements and coastal light. The composition balances structured geometry with fluid watercolor techniques.
Warm tan and silver tones dominate the composition, creating substantial presence across overlapping rectangular and curved forms. Light blue areas provide cool counterpoints, while gray and steel blue sections add depth through transparent layering. The watercolor medium allows colors to blend at edges, creating soft transitions between the geometric elements. Dark brown linear details and small accent marks in deep red and green punctuate the lighter areas.
The work measures 19 × 26 cm on paper, making it part of the small format category within Quercy's practice. Certificate of authenticity number 20231231-0036 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the back. Created in France during 2023, this watercolor represents Quercy's contemporary approach to American regional themes through European artistic sensibilities.
