Arnaud Quercy is a Parisian artist working across painting, music, and sculpture. His practice is grounded in Ideamorphism — the principle that a work of art does not carry meaning, but triggers it. Each piece is engineered to diffract differently through each person who encounters it.
He creates and exhibits at Art Quam Anima, his gallery-atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of a B minor piano chord through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece demonstrates how musical harmony can be rendered as color relationships on paper.
Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing in varied intensities across geometric forms that suggest piano keys and musical structure. Orange accents provide harmonic contrast, while subtle yellow and yellow-orange details complete the chord visualization. The acrylic medium allows for clean color boundaries and precise geometric relationships.
The work measures 16 × 21 cm on paper and weighs minimal for easy display. Certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0111 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the front right. This étude translates the B minor triad into its chromesthetic equivalent, creating a visual score where color becomes the primary musical language.
