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
Hold your breath before this small painting — the city is about to wake. It is four o'clock in the morning on the rue des Petits-Carreaux: cool teal and magenta float over a ground of olive and shadow, and a single white square holds the dark in place. The market has not yet stirred, but the air is already changing, charged with the first promise of day.
This is one of the 72 Facets of Paris, born of a piano waltz of the same name. From the chord E♭−9, the waltz holds its first hushed three-time at the very edge of night — a poised, expectant moment of colour and form, just before the market stirs.
Acrylic on paper, 18 × 13 cm, signed on the reverse. A small painting alive with anticipation — the last calm breath before dawn, captured and yours to keep.
