Eb Minor - Variation 6 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of musical harmony through harmonic-chromatic mapping. Part of the Harmonic Crossing collection, the piece transforms an Eb minor chord into its corresponding color relationships. The composition investigates how musical intervals can manifest as spatial and chromatic arrangements on a painted surface.

Red-violet tones dominate the composition, appearing across multiple layers and intensities that correspond to the chord's harmonic structure. These purples and mauves create substantial presence throughout the surface, punctuated by small areas of yellow-green and orange that provide chromatic tension. The geometric forms organize into overlapping planes, with curved boundaries creating fluid transitions between color zones. A small green rectangle with layered elements occupies the lower right, while warm accent tones appear as subtle counterpoints to the prevailing violet harmony.

The acrylic painting measures 30.0 × 40.0 × 0.4 cm and weighs minimal on wood panel support. Created in 2024, this work carries certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0227. The piece represents Variation 6 within the Research on Harmony series, specifically examining the Eb minor triad through the artist's harmonic-chromatic translation system. The signature appears on the reverse of the panel.
