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 an E minor piano étude through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it demonstrates how musical harmony can be rendered as color relationships, converting the fundamental chord tones E, G, and B into their corresponding visual equivalents.
Orange tones dominate the composition, with sandybrown and peru creating the primary color structure across most of the surface. Yellow areas provide bright contrast through wheat tones, while yellow-green ochre adds harmonic complexity. A deep red-orange accent appears as a small but crucial element, creating visual tension that mirrors the chord's emotional weight. The geometric forms suggest piano keys abstracted into rectangular color blocks, each representing specific pitches in the harmonic progression.
The acrylic on paper measures 15.0 × 21.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, created on November 23, 2025. This piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0106, with the artist's signature located at the bottom right. The work represents variation 7 within the broader harmonic research series, demonstrating how traditional musical structures can find expression through pure color relationships and geometric form.
