About This Artwork
This acrylic on canvas painting explores the philosophical relationship between faith and reason as conceived by St. Augustine. The work divides the composition into distinct visual zones, each representing a different aspect of human understanding and divine truth. On the left, geometric shapes in warm tones embody the earthly realm of rational thought, while the right side features a luminous circular form suggesting transcendence and spiritual illumination. A delicate black line connects these realms, creating a visual bridge between intellect and faith.
Red-orange tones dominate the left portion of the canvas, comprising roughly a third of the total color distribution. These firebrick and salmon hues appear in stacked geometric rectangles that suggest structured, logical thinking. The upper right transitions into blue-gray passages that occupy nearly a quarter of the composition, creating a cooler atmospheric zone where a radiant circle of light emerges. Deep red-violet and dusty mauve tones anchor the lower register, providing weight and grounding the more ethereal elements above. The warm-to-cool temperature shift across the surface reinforces the conceptual division between earthly reason and transcendent faith.
The 54×73 cm format places this work within the Transcendence collection, which examines spiritual and philosophical themes through contemporary abstract visual language. The composition maintains high spatial coherence while balancing analogous color relationships throughout. Working in acrylic, Quercy achieves smooth color transitions while preserving distinct boundaries between the geometric forms.
The work includes certificate of authenticity #20231231-0080 and bears the artist's signature at bottom right. This painting is now held in a private collection in the USA.
