F Major - Research on Harmony - Variation 2 — Acrylic on Wood Panel by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of the F Major triad through chromesthetic mapping, where musical harmony becomes color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece transforms the fundamental chord F-A-C into its corresponding color equivalents, creating a bridge between auditory and visual perception.

Red-orange tones dominate the composition, occupying substantial areas through brown and firebrick hues that ground the harmonic structure. Yellow-orange appears throughout in tan and peru, while soft red-violet thistle provides luminous contrast in the upper register. Dark blue-violet and black anchor the lower frequencies, with gray and accent colors of yellow, orange, red, and blue creating harmonic complexity across the surface.

The acrylic on wood panel measures 30.0 × 42.0 × 0.3 cm and weighs minimal amounts, making it a compact study in color harmony. Certificate of authenticity number 20241201-0232 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature positioned according to standard practice. The piece represents focused research into the systematic translation of musical structures into visual form, demonstrating how chord progressions can be rendered through precise color relationships.
