Bb Minor - Variation 7 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of the Bb Minor triad through harmonic-chromatic mapping, where musical harmony becomes color relationship. Part of the Harmonic Crossing collection, the piece converts the chord tones Bb, Db, and F into their corresponding visual equivalents, creating a direct bridge between auditory and visual perception.

Red tones dominate the composition, appearing across most of the surface in varied intensities from deep brown to dusty mauve. Blue-green areas provide substantial contrast in the upper left, while orange and peach tones create warm accents. The geometric forms organize these colors into overlapping planes and curved sections, with a central circular element anchoring the composition. Three small accent colors appear as precise notes: a blue-violet mark in the lower right, pale green-white highlights, and red-violet details.

The acrylic painting measures 30 × 40 cm on wood panel, weighing minimal for easy handling. Created in France during January 2024, the work carries certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0212. The Harmonic Crossing collection investigates the systematic translation of musical structures into visual form, examining how harmonic relationships can be perceived through color interaction rather than sound.
