G Major — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of musical harmony through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it transforms a G Major triad into its corresponding color relationships, creating a direct bridge between auditory and visual perception.

Red-orange tones dominate the composition through firebrick and brown hues, while orange appears in substantial areas as chocolate tones. Yellow-green provides harmonic contrast through seagreen accents, with lighter ochre and yellowgreen notes completing the chromesthetic chord. The geometric forms organize these color relationships into clear harmonic structures, with overlapping rectangular shapes creating depth and visual rhythm. A circular orange element anchors the upper portion, while vertical green forms provide structural counterpoint against the warm background field.

The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and uses acrylic on paper support. Created in 2024, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20240602-0100 with the artist's signature on the front right. The piece demonstrates the systematic approach of translating specific musical intervals into their chromesthetic equivalents, where each note of the G Major triad corresponds to distinct color families within the composition.
