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
This watercolor explores the dissonant tritone interval between D and G# through chromesthetic translation. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the work transforms musical tension into visual form, examining how the "devil's interval" appears when sound becomes color.
Red-violet tones dominate the upper portion, flowing into warm reds and mauves that fill most of the composition. A deep blue-violet accent emerges as a small but crucial element, providing chromatic contrast. The colors layer and blend through watercolor's natural flow, creating soft transitions between the warm and cool families while maintaining distinct color territories.
The painting measures 24 × 32 cm and weighs minimal on paper support. Certificate of authenticity number 20240718-0179 accompanies the work, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. This piece represents the seventeenth work in the Reflexions series, continuing the artist's systematic exploration of musical intervals through color relationships.
