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 playful abstraction through geometric forms that suggest feline movement and interaction. Part of the Untamed Creations collection, the work transforms the familiar subject of cats at play into a study of angular shapes and spatial relationships. The composition reduces complex motion to essential geometric elements while maintaining the energy of the original concept.
Warm orange and tan tones dominate the composition, creating a unified field that suggests paper or cardboard. Blue geometric shapes appear throughout the surface in various forms - triangular fragments, rectangular blocks, and circular elements that provide contrast against the neutral ground. The watercolor technique allows colors to blend at edges while maintaining distinct boundaries between forms. Two small circular elements anchor the composition, one suspended by a thin line and another partially covered by a gray form.
The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm on paper, making it part of the small format category within contemporary watercolor practice. Created in 2024, it carries certificate number 20240302-0036 with the artist signature on the back. The piece was sold in August 2025 to a collector in Paris, France, demonstrating market interest in Quercy geometric approach to familiar subjects.
