Arnaud Quercy is a Parisian artist working across painting, music, and sculpture. His practice is grounded in Ideamorphism — the principle that a work of art does not carry meaning, but triggers it. Each piece is engineered to diffract differently through each person who encounters it.
He creates and exhibits at Art Quam Anima, his gallery-atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.
About This Artwork
Meditations - Variation 1 explores the balance between geometric structure and organic flow through watercolor's fluid properties. Part of the Untamed Creations collection, this work examines how controlled forms can emerge from spontaneous color interactions. The piece investigates the tension between architectural precision and watercolor's inherent unpredictability.
Warm orange tones dominate the composition, flowing from sandy browns to deeper burnt siennas across the right portion of the surface. Cool blue forms create substantial presence on the left side, establishing a strong temperature contrast that divides the composition into distinct zones. Small geometric elements punctuate the arrangement - a red square appears in the upper left quadrant, while a small blue square and red circle provide accent points in the lower right. Black linear elements connect these forms, creating pathways that guide the eye through the color relationships.
The work measures 10 × 15 cm and weighs minimal amounts on paper support, making it part of the small format category. Created in 2024, this piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20240302-0039 and bears the artist's signature on the front left. The compact scale allows the geometric elements to read clearly while maintaining the watercolor medium's characteristic soft edges and color bleeding effects.
