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 six on rue de Turenne, and behind the shutters the oven is already lit before the street has stirred. A teal arc sweeps across the grey, magenta glows warm, and lime-green flickers like the first heat of the day. You can almost catch the scent of bread rising — the secret, generous hour that feeds the whole quarter to come.
This is one facet of the 72 Facets of Paris, a series painted from a piano waltz of the same name, each measure a place at a given hour. The waltz turns in three-time on the stone, and from the chord G♭7 — bright, quickening, alive — the artist caught the warmth of the bakery before dawn.
Acrylic on paper, 18 × 13 cm, signed on the reverse. A tender, glowing little painting full of Parisian morning warmth — irresistible to anyone who loves the city's quiet rituals.
