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 a C minor major seventh chord into visual color relationships. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, the piece maps piano studies and cycle of fifths theory onto a visual surface. The work transforms harmonic structures into chromatic arrangements, exploring how musical intervals correspond to color relationships.
Light yellow-gray tones dominate the composition, with substantial silver areas creating a neutral foundation. Deep yellow-green forms appear throughout, ranging from dark olive to bright ochre. Gray tones in multiple values provide structural elements, while small accent areas introduce red-violet, blue-violet, and dusty mauve notes. The colors organize into geometric shapes that suggest musical notation, with darker elements anchoring the lower portions and lighter tones rising toward white highlights.
The acrylic painting measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper, weighing 0.1 kg. Created in France on March 4, 2026, the work carries certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0008 and bears the artist's signature. The compact format uses the cycle of fifths mapping as inspiration, translating specific chord voicings C1, B3, C4, Eb4, B4, C5, Eb6, Eb7 into corresponding color families across the vertical composition.
