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 work explores harmonic relationships through chromesthetic translation, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The E minor triad serves as the foundation, with each note mapped to its corresponding color through synesthetic perception. The composition investigates how musical intervals translate into visual harmony.
Orange tones dominate the composition, occupying substantial areas across the surface. Yellow-green appears throughout the right portion, creating dynamic contrast with the warmer hues. Gray areas provide neutral grounding, while black forms create structural anchors. Small accents of blue and blue-green add subtle color variations that complete the harmonic palette.
The work measures 30 × 40 cm on wood panel, executed in acrylic. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0231 accompanies the piece. The painting translates the E minor chord into visual form, where the fundamental notes E, G, and B appear as their chromesthetic equivalents across the composition.
