Eb Major - Variation 4 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates the Eb Major triad into visual form through harmonic-chromatic mapping, where musical tones correspond to specific colors. The piece belongs to the Harmonic Crossing collection, which examines the intersection between auditory and visual perception through systematic color-sound relationships.

Orange tones dominate the composition, occupying substantial areas through chocolate and burnt sienna hues that create warmth and energy. Violet appears throughout in dark gray and mauve forms, providing cool counterpoints to the warm palette. Black anchors the lower register while steel gray and silver tones add luminous accents. The geometric forms interlock through angular shapes and curved elements, creating spatial relationships that mirror harmonic intervals.

The work measures 15.0 × 21.0 × 0.3 cm and weighs minimal as an acrylic painting on wood panel. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0279 accompanies the piece. The artist's systematic approach maps the Eb Major chord tones—Eb, G, and Bb—to their corresponding harmonic-chromatic colors, creating a visual representation of harmonic structure through the resolved voicing Eb1, Eb2, Bb2, Bb3, G4, A5, G6, G7.
