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
Seattle explores the architectural rhythm and atmospheric character of the Pacific Northwest city through geometric abstraction. Part of the American Voyage collection, this watercolor translates urban experience into interlocking forms and layered color relationships that capture the essence of place without literal representation.
Blue-violet tones dominate the composition, creating the foundation for a complex arrangement of overlapping geometric shapes. Medium aquamarine and sky blue areas provide counterpoint to the deeper purples, while warm ochre and silver accents appear throughout the surface. The watercolor medium allows colors to flow and blend at edges, softening the geometric structure while maintaining clear spatial divisions between forms.
The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper, with the artist's signature appearing on the front. Certificate of authenticity number 20240512-0073 accompanies the piece. As part of the American Voyage collection, Seattle represents Quercy's approach to capturing the character of American cities through abstraction, translating the vertical energy and maritime atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest into pure form and color.
