G minor - Variation 2 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of G minor harmony through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The G minor triad — G, Bb, D — appears as a spread voicing across multiple octaves, with each note rendered in its corresponding color according to the artist's sound-to-color perception system.

Orange tones dominate the composition, occupying most of the surface through various shades from bright darkorange to deeper burnt sienna and russet. Violet areas provide substantial presence in the lower register, appearing as dusty mauve forms that ground the harmonic structure. Black elements anchor the bass register, while subtle accent colors in blue and yellow-orange create harmonic extensions beyond the basic triad.

The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm on paper, executed in acrylic with certificate of authenticity number 20240615-0137. The signature appears at bottom right. This compact format concentrates the harmonic relationships into an intimate study, translating the specific voicing G1-Bb2-D3-G3-D4-Bb7 into visual form through systematic color correspondence.
