G minor 7 — Acrylic on Paper by Arnaud Quercy

About This Artwork

This work explores the visual translation of a G minor 7 chord through chromesthetic mapping. Part of the Synesthetic Explorations collection, it transforms piano studies and cycle of fifths relationships into color harmonies. The piece maps the chord's voicing across multiple octaves, creating visible music through systematic color correspondence.

Orange tones dominate the composition, ranging from light burlywood through darker salmon and peru shades. Violet and red-violet areas provide harmonic contrast in dusty mauve tones. Gray and silver elements appear in smaller sections, while very dark red accents punctuate the surface. The acrylic medium on paper allows for clean color separation and precise tonal relationships.

The work measures 21.0 × 30.0 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. Certificate of authenticity number 20260305-0006 accompanies the piece, with the artist's signature located bottom right. The painting translates the specific chord voicing G1, F3, Bb3, D4, D5, G5, Bb6, Bb7 into corresponding color families based on chromesthetic principles. Each note receives its color assignment according to the artist's systematic approach to sound-color translation.
