F Minor - Research on Harmony - Variation 9 — Acrylic on Linen Canvas by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of F minor harmony through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The F minor triad appears as a spread voicing across the canvas, with each chord tone rendered in its corresponding color family. The piece investigates how harmonic relationships can be made visible through systematic color translation.

Red tones dominate the composition, with dusty mauve occupying substantial areas and coral providing bright accents throughout. Orange appears in the darker registers as very dark gray, while blue-violet emerges as grayish purple in smaller sections. The color distribution follows the harmonic structure, with red-orange family colors creating the strongest presence across the surface. Yellow-orange appears as warm burlywood sections, connecting the warmer and cooler color areas.

The work measures 60 × 60 cm and uses acrylic on linen canvas. This variation represents one exploration within the broader Synesthetic Explorations collection, where musical structures become visual compositions. The piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20240718-0200, with the artist's signature located at the bottom right. The F minor chord structure — F, Ab, C — translates into a specific color palette that maintains the harmonic relationships in visual form.
