About This Artwork
This acrylic painting explores the philosophical tension between faith and reason, drawing inspiration from Richard Dawkins' rationalist worldview. Part of the Transcendence collection, the work presents a visual argument for the emergence of scientific understanding from darker territories of unexamined belief. The large format (50×70 cm) allows Quercy to construct a complex visual field where geometric clarity emerges from zones of shadow and intensity.
Blue-violet tones dominate the composition, appearing in deep near-black passages and cool silvery grays that together occupy more than a third of the surface. These darker areas anchor the left side and lower registers, representing what the artist describes as entrenched beliefs. Against this, firebrick reds and warm orange passages create substantial presence, their intensity suggesting the friction where conviction meets inquiry. A prominent pale silvery-white form commands the upper center, functioning as a sanctuary of reason amid the surrounding tension. Geometric shapes—circles, lines, triangular wedges—appear throughout, creating pathways that connect disparate zones.
The canvas support provides texture that the acrylic medium exploits through both opaque passages and areas where underlayers show through. Compositional elements cluster and connect via thin black lines that suggest circuits or diagrams, reinforcing the work's philosophical framework. The contemporary style balances gestural freedom with deliberate structural organization.
The work bears the artist's signature at bottom right and includes certificate of authenticity #20231231-0082.
