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 nine, and you are climbing the old rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève. A purple band rides over blue and deep navy; magenta glows in a doorway and an orange edge catches the first sun on worn façades. The hill rises ahead of you, stones layered with centuries, the morning quiet broken only by footsteps on the slope.
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 B♭−9 this facet draws the climbing spirit of the old street at twenty to nine — the waltz gathering pace through the morning.
Acrylic on paper, 18 × 13 cm, signed on the reverse. A jewel of the Latin Quarter's oldest hill — a piece that deepens the more you live beside it.
