G Major — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of musical harmony through harmonic-chromatic mapping. Part of the Harmonic Crossing 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 harmonic-chromatic 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 harmonic-chromatic equivalents, where each note of the G Major triad corresponds to distinct color families within the composition.
