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 the Eb Minor triad into visual form through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it explores how musical harmonies can become color relationships. The piece examines the specific voicing of Bb4, Bb5, F#6, and F#7, transforming chord structure into geometric composition.
Red-violet tones dominate the composition, appearing in light thistle at the top and deepening through steel gray and plum toward darker dusty mauve. These colors correspond to the piano notes, with lighter tones representing higher octaves. Yellow-green accents appear in geometric blocks, providing contrast against the violet harmony. Black outlines define each color area, creating clear boundaries between tonal regions.
The work measures 10.5 × 15.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. Certificate of authenticity number 20251123-0110 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located at bottom right. This represents Variation 8 within the broader harmonic research series, focusing specifically on minor chord relationships and their visual equivalents.
