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

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of the Bb Minor triad through chromesthetic mapping, where musical harmony becomes color relationship. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations 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 Synesthetic Explorations collection investigates the systematic translation of musical structures into visual form, examining how harmonic relationships can be perceived through color interaction rather than sound.
