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 explores the G# diminished chord through chromesthetic translation, converting musical harmony into visual relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it demonstrates how specific chord tones can generate color compositions through systematic color-sound correspondence.
Yellow-green tones dominate the composition, appearing in broad areas that correspond to the chord's B natural. Blue-violet regions create substantial presence throughout the surface, while gray tones provide structural foundation. A small orange accent punctuates the arrangement, with violet appearing as a focused detail. The watercolor technique allows colors to blend at their boundaries while maintaining distinct harmonic zones.
The work measures 14.8 × 21.0 cm on paper and carries certificate of authenticity number 20250125-0038. The artist's signature appears at bottom right. This piece translates the diminished triad's characteristic tension into visual form, with each color family representing specific pitches within the harmonic structure.
