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 the F# Major triad through chromesthetic translation, where musical harmony becomes visible color. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece translates the chord's fundamental tones into their corresponding visual equivalents, creating a direct bridge between auditory and visual perception.
Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing in geometric forms that correspond to the chord's B natural. Red-orange areas provide harmonic contrast through the G natural, while green sections represent the F# root. The colors organize into distinct geometric zones - a large circular form in aquamarine green, angular sections in darker yellow-green, and contrasting areas in muted red-orange. Black linear elements create structural divisions across the surface, while a small white accent appears as the visual equivalent of a high Bb.
The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm and weighs minimal amounts on paper support, executed in acrylic. Certificate number 20240615-0133 documents its authenticity, with the artist's signature located bottom right. The piece represents Variation 1 within the Research on Harmony series, demonstrating how specific chord structures translate into organized color relationships through the artist's chromesthetic system.
