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
Twenty to ten at the foot of rue Mouffetard, where the food market spreads toward Saint-Médard below the cafés of the place de la Contrescarpe. Blue and navy hold the morning steady, then a charge of red-orange bursts through and a white square shines like an awning. Stalls are in full morning, the air thick with fruit and bread, the Latin Quarter at its most generous.
This is one of the 72 Facets of Paris, a series born of a piano waltz of the same name. Each measure became a Parisian place at an hour, painted into colour through the artist's ideamorphic method. From the chord A♭7 this facet draws the abundance of the market at twenty to ten — the waltz gathering pace through the morning.
Acrylic on paper, 18 × 13 cm, signed on the reverse. The beating heart of Mouffetard's market — warm, generous, irresistible to live with.
