About This Artwork
This painting translates a seven-note Ab Major 9 chord into visual form through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the work uses spread voicing to organize colors across a vertical composition. The piece explores how musical harmony can become visible through systematic color relationships.
Indian red dominates the composition, with deep violet tones creating substantial presence throughout the surface. Black areas anchor the lower regions while dusty mauve and pale violet-red provide additional harmonic notes. Russet and grayish purple appear as accent colors, completing the chromesthetic translation. The acrylic medium on paper creates smooth color transitions that mirror the flowing nature of extended chords.
The work measures fourteen point eight by twenty-one centimeters and bears certificate of authenticity number 20240228-0030. Quercy signed the piece in the bottom right corner. This second variation in the Ab Major 9 research demonstrates how piano voicings can generate specific color arrangements through synesthetic perception.
