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 a Db octave chord through chromesthetic mapping, part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection. The piece transforms piano harmonies into color relationships, creating a visual equivalent of musical intervals and chord structures. The composition investigates how harmonic relationships in music can find expression through systematic color correspondence.
Blue-green tones dominate the composition, with deep black areas creating substantial presence throughout the surface. Lighter blue and blue-violet sections occupy significant portions, while bright aquamarine provides accent notes. White appears in the lower portion, contrasting with the darker elements. The geometric forms include curved lines and angular shapes that create spatial divisions across the vertical format.
The work measures 12.0 × 18.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg, executed in acrylic on paper. Certificate of authenticity number 20251231-0128 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located on the bottom right. The compact format supports detailed examination of the color relationships and geometric interactions that translate the musical source material into visual form.
