About This Artwork
This ceramic sculpture from the Untamed Creations collection translates Charlie Parker's bebop innovations into geometric form. Quercy transforms the saxophonist's complex harmonic language—tritone substitutions, deceptive resolutions, and interlocking cadences—into physical sculpture. The work explores how musical improvisation can become three-dimensional structure.
The cream-colored ceramic rises from a black metal support in angular, interlocking forms that suggest both bird-like abstraction and architectural complexity. The matte ceramic surface creates subtle variations in light and shadow across the geometric planes. The cubist approach breaks the subject into faceted elements that reconnect in unexpected ways, echoing Parker's approach to harmonic progression.
The sculpture measures twenty-six by forty-five by ten centimeters and weighs approximately four kilograms. Created in France in 2024, the work carries certificate of authenticity number 20240514-0074 with the artist's signature on the bottom. The metal base provides structural support while creating visual contrast with the pale ceramic forms above.
