B Major - Variation 1 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of the B major triad through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition presents the chord's three tones as color relationships, with each pitch corresponding to a specific hue based on the artist's synesthetic perception.

Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, representing the root note B in its higher register. Violet and red-violet areas create substantial presence through dusty mauve tones, translating the chord's harmonic intervals. The geometric forms organize these color relationships into distinct zones, with black rectangular shapes providing structural anchors against the lighter chromatic areas. White linear elements divide the composition, creating clear boundaries between the different harmonic regions.

The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm and weighs minimal amounts as an acrylic on paper study. This piece represents Variation 1 within the broader harmonic research series, bearing certificate number 20240615-0147 with the artist's signature located at bottom right. The compact format allows for focused examination of the specific chord relationships without additional harmonic complexity.
