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 work translates a B Major chord voicing into visual form through chromesthetic mapping, exploring how musical harmony appears as color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece demonstrates the artist's systematic approach to making sound visible through watercolor.
Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing in multiple values from light silver through darker grays. A warm yellow area occupies substantial space in the upper right, while darker gray and charcoal sections provide structural weight. Small orange and red-orange accents appear as precise touches, translating the extended harmonies of the musical voicing. The watercolor technique allows colors to blend naturally at their boundaries, creating the fluid transitions that mirror harmonic relationships in music.
The work measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper and carries certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0009, with the artist's signature located bottom right. The musical source maps to a six-note voicing spanning from B2 to Eb6, where each pitch corresponds to a specific color family through the artist's chromesthetic system. This particular variation demonstrates how a major triad can expand into complex color harmonies when voiced across multiple octaves.
