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 watercolor explores the C# fourth interval through harmonic-chromatic translation, where musical notes transform into visual color relationships. Part of the Harmonic Crossing collection, the work translates the specific harmonic interval between C# and F# into a composition that bridges auditory and visual perception. The piece examines how musical structures can find expression through watercolor's fluid properties.
Light grays dominate the composition, with steel gray tones occupying substantial areas throughout the surface. Blue accents appear in strategic locations, while warm orange and red-orange notes provide precise color punctuation. The watercolor technique allows colors to flow and blend naturally, creating soft transitions between tonal areas. Geometric forms emerge through the interplay of organic washes and controlled linear elements.
The work measures 24 × 32 cm and weighs minimal as a paper-based watercolor. Created in 2024, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20240718-0183 with the artist's signature located at the bottom right. The piece demonstrates how specific musical intervals can translate into visual compositions through systematic color relationships, making abstract harmonic concepts tangible through pigment and water.
