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 visual translation of E Major through chromesthetic mapping, where musical harmony becomes color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece investigates how the fundamental chord structure E-G#-B can manifest as a visual composition using systematic color-to-pitch correspondence.
Gold tones dominate the composition, appearing throughout the surface as the visual equivalent of the E root note. Blue-violet areas occupy substantial space, representing the harmonic third, while warm yellow-orange regions provide the supporting color structure. The geometric arrangement organizes these chromesthetic translations into distinct zones - a white circle intersecting with rectangular color fields, creating clear boundaries between harmonic elements. Dark brown and lighter brown tones add depth to the yellow-orange family, while cornflower blue provides accent notes that correspond to higher register pitches.
The work measures 21 × 21 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, created with acrylic on paper. This piece represents variation 10 within the Research on Harmony series, demonstrating the artist's systematic approach to translating musical structures into visual form. The composition bears certificate number 20251123-0103 with the artist's signature located at bottom right, documenting this specific exploration of E Major's chromesthetic properties within the broader collection framework.
