A Minor - Variation 6 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates the A minor triad into visual form through harmonic-chromatic mapping, where musical notes correspond to specific colors. The composition belongs to the Harmonic Crossing collection, which investigates the relationship between sound and color through systematic color-to-pitch associations.

Red-orange tones dominate the composition, appearing in brown and firebrick hues that occupy substantial areas of the surface. Yellow-orange appears throughout in steel gray and muted gray tones, while deep black provides foundational contrast. The geometric forms arrange themselves in interlocking rectangles and curved segments, creating a structured yet fluid organization. Pale pink accents emerge in small areas, adding delicate highlights to the predominantly warm palette.

The acrylic painting measures 15.0 × 21.0 × 0.3 cm on wood panel, weighing minimal due to its compact format. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0265 accompanies the work. The piece demonstrates the artist's systematic approach to translating the A minor chord — consisting of the notes A, C, and E — into their corresponding harmonic-chromatic colors of yellow-orange, red-orange, and yellow respectively.
