B Major — 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 piece investigates how musical harmony becomes visible color, translating the chord's tones into their corresponding visual equivalents. The composition presents a spread voicing that opens harmonic space through color relationships.

Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing in multiple variations that occupy most of the surface. Violet areas provide substantial presence through dusty mauve sections, while orange tones create contrast through rosy brown passages. Silver and gray elements establish neutral zones, with small accent colors including aquamarine green, plum, and dark brown creating precise punctuation points. The acrylic medium on paper allows direct color application and clear tonal boundaries.

The work measures 16 × 21 cm and weighs minimal amounts appropriate for paper support. Created in 2024, this piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0110 and bears the artist's signature on the front right. The painting translates specific musical pitches including B3, D4, Eb4, A4, B4, F#5, G5, B5, and Eb6 into their chromesthetic color equivalents. The compact format concentrates the harmonic relationships into an intimate viewing experience.
