G minor 7 - Variation 2 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work translates a G minor 7 chord into visual form through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it converts piano studies into color relationships using the cycle of fifths as a structural framework. The piece maps the six-note voicing G2, F3, Bb3, D5, Bb6, Bb7 into corresponding color families across the composition.

Orange tones dominate the surface, ranging from warm salmon to deeper rust colors. Dark red-violet areas create substantial presence in the middle register, while violet tones provide harmonic contrast. Silver and white regions appear in the upper areas, corresponding to the higher octave notes. Deep gray anchors the lower register, establishing the root foundation of the chord structure.

The acrylic painting measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm on paper, weighing 0.1 kg in a vertical format. Created in France on March 5, 2026, it carries certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0023.
