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
It is twenty past four, and you are standing where the old hôtels of rue de Saintonge keep their secrets. Above the rooftops the first paling of the sky begins — a white square cutting through grey — while red-orange, green and purple blocks pulse against the quiet. The Haut-Marais has not yet woken, and you are alone with its breath.
This is one facet of the 72 Facets of Paris, a series painted from a piano waltz of the same name. Each of its seventy-two measures became a Parisian place at a given hour. Here the waltz quickens, and from the chord B♭−9 — restless, expectant — the artist drew this corner of the Marais at the cusp of dawn.
Acrylic on paper, 18 × 13 cm, signed on the reverse. A small, intimate window onto Paris at the hour almost no one sees — yours to keep, and to return to whenever the city calls.
