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
Step into the Batignolles at twenty to six. The village street hums with the close of market day — grey and magenta, red and ochre, a single blue disc and a wash of teal. You can almost hear the last stalls folding away and the first apéritif being poured on the square, the light going soft and golden over everyone lingering.
This is one of the 72 Facets of Paris, a series born of a piano waltz of the same name. Each measure became a place at an hour; this one rises from the chord B♭−9, the moment the dance softens into dusk. Its warm, off-kilter colour is the very mood of a neighbourhood that still lives like a village.
Acrylic on paper, 18 × 13 cm, signed on the reverse. A small, intimate window onto the most beloved corner of the 17th — and a single tessera of an abstract portrait of the whole city.
