Promenade aux jardins du Luxembourg, l'été — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the intersection of urban nature and architectural forms through abstract composition. Part of the "Nature in the city" collection, the piece transforms the experience of Luxembourg Gardens into geometric relationships and color interactions that suggest both natural elements and built structures.

Warm yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, creating a luminous foundation that evokes summer light. Rich red-orange areas provide structural weight, while deep browns and blacks define geometric boundaries and create spatial depth. The interplay between organic curves and angular forms suggests the dialogue between garden pathways and architectural elements. Orange accents punctuate the composition, adding energy to the overall arrangement.

The work measures 10.0 × 15.0 cm and weighs minimal amounts as an acrylic painting on paper. This compact format captures the essence of a summer stroll through one of Paris's most beloved public spaces.
