F Major
About This Artwork
This work explores the visual translation of musical harmony through chromesthetic mapping, where the F Major triad becomes a study in 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-violet tones dominate the composition, appearing in multiple variations that correspond to different octaves of F. A bold red-orange form occupies the upper left, representing the chord's fifth degree, while smaller yellow and orange accents provide harmonic completeness. The geometric shapes are arranged in a spread voicing that mirrors how a pianist might distribute the chord across multiple octaves, with each color maintaining its distinct identity while contributing to the overall harmonic structure.
The acrylic on paper measures 21 × 30 cm and weighs minimal for easy handling. Created in France during 2024, the work carries certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0089 and bears the artist's signature on the front right. The piece demonstrates Quercy's systematic approach to translating musical concepts into visual form, using color theory to make harmonic relationships tangible and immediate.
