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 sculpture explores geometric reduction through naive cubism, distilling feline form into essential volumes. Part of the Nature in the city collection, the work investigates how complex organic shapes can be simplified into fundamental geometric components while retaining recognizable identity.
The piece consists of a stable columnar body supporting an angular triangular head with a single circular opening that suggests an eye or aperture. The ceramic surface maintains the natural clay color, emphasizing form over decoration. The vertical orientation creates a sense of alertness and presence, while the geometric simplification removes all non-essential details.
The work measures eleven by ten by twenty-seven centimeters and weighs approximately two kilograms. Created in France on April 8, 2024, the sculpture bears certificate of authenticity number 20240428-0068. The artist's signature appears on the bottom of the piece. This ceramic work represents Quercy's investigation into how cubist principles can be applied to animal forms, combining the directness of naive art with geometric abstraction.
