B Minor 7 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates a B minor seventh chord into visual form through harmonic-chromatic mapping. Part of the Harmonic Crossing collection, it transforms piano studies and cycle of fifths relationships into color harmonies. The composition maps the seven-note voicing F#3, D4, Eb4, B4, A5, B5, D6 onto a geometric arrangement of colored rectangles.

Gray tones dominate the composition, with steel gray and silver creating the primary structure. Warm yellow-orange areas provide substantial presence alongside yellow and ochre regions. Green and yellow-green sections anchor the darker portions, while blue-violet and orange accents punctuate specific areas. The acrylic paint creates smooth, even surfaces with clear geometric boundaries between color zones.

The work measures 15.0 × 21.0 cm on paper, weighing 0.1 kg in its compact vertical format. Created in France on March 4, 2026, it carries certificate number 20260304-0001 and bears the artist's signature. The piece forms part of Quercy's investigation into piano studies and harmonic mapping, exploring how musical intervals translate into spatial color relationships.
