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 visual translation of an F Major triad through chromesthetic mapping, where musical pitches correspond to specific colors. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the work demonstrates how harmonic relationships in music can be expressed through color relationships on paper.
Yellow-orange tones dominate the composition, appearing in warm gainsboro and wheat hues that fill the upper portions. Orange colors create substantial presence through steel gray and tan areas, while darker red-violet and violet accents provide contrast in geometric forms. The colors organize into distinct sections divided by clean black lines, creating a structured arrangement that mirrors musical notation.
The watercolor measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper and weighs 96 grams. Certificate number 20250125-0025 documents the work's authenticity, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. The piece represents Variation 8 within the Research on Harmony series, demonstrating the systematic approach to translating musical structures into visual form.
