F7 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

F7 - Research on Harmony translates a piano étude into visual form through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, this work explores how the F7 dominant seventh chord appears when rendered as color relationships. The piece investigates the cycle of fifths mapping, converting musical harmony into visual experience.

The composition organizes around a silver-gray foundation that anchors the surface. Red and red-violet tones create substantial presence through dusty mauve and pale violet areas, while light gray and cream zones provide bright counterpoints. Deep black and steel gray sections establish contrast, with small yellow and blue-violet accents completing the harmonic structure. The acrylic medium on paper allows precise color placement and clean edge definition.

This work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg in its paper support format. The piece carries certificate of authenticity number 20260304-0005 and bears the artist's signature. Created in France as part of Quercy's investigation into piano studies, the work demonstrates how specific musical chords can be systematically converted into color compositions using synesthetic principles.
