Pause déjeuner sur un banc — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the interplay between geometric abstraction and urban experience, translating the concept of a lunch break into bold color relationships and angular forms. Part of the Nature in the city collection, the piece examines how moments of pause create visual rhythms within contemporary life.

Red-orange tones dominate the composition, creating substantial presence across the surface. Deep burgundy and russet areas anchor the lower sections while bright orange and sandy brown forms provide energetic contrast. A pale gray square appears in the upper portion, offering visual relief against the warm palette. Black linear elements and curved boundaries organize the geometric shapes into a dynamic arrangement. The acrylic medium allows for clean edges and saturated color areas that maintain their intensity throughout the composition.

The work measures 10 × 15 cm on paper, with the artist's signature located at the bottom right. Certificate of authenticity number 20240120-0006 accompanies the piece. This compact format concentrates the visual impact while maintaining clarity in the geometric relationships. The painting was completed in 2024 as part of Quercy's ongoing investigation into urban rhythms and natural patterns within city environments.
