C Major - Variation 5 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of a C Major chord through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The composition investigates how musical harmony appears when converted to color relationships, creating a direct correspondence between auditory and visual experience.

Orange tones dominate the surface, with russet and burnt sienna forms occupying substantial areas. Red-orange shapes in chocolate hues create geometric contrasts, while yellow-orange silver tones appear throughout the composition. A deep violet-gray foundation anchors the lower portion, with small accent notes of blue-violet white and red-violet silver providing bright punctuation points across the surface.

The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 × 0.3 cm and weighs minimal amounts on wood panel support. This piece represents Variation 5 within the broader harmonic research series, documenting the artist's systematic approach to color-sound correspondence. The work bears certificate number 20241201-0244 and maintains the collection's focus on translating musical structures into visual form.
