C# Fourth Interval – Reflexions 21

C# Fourth Interval – Reflexions 21 Watercolor on paper, 24x32cm Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0687 / 2024 This painting explores the Fourth interval (C#, F#) through the interplay of colors: blue-green (teal) for C# and green for F#. By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of the Fourth. The geometric shapes and layered colors symbolize the structured yet expressive nature of musical harmony, offering a visual representation of auditory beauty. This piece is part of the synesthetic collection where the artist maps colors to the circle of fifths, merging the sensory experiences of color and music. In music, the fourth interval spans four letter names and includes five half steps, creating a consonant and stable sound. It is often associated with resolution and balance, integral to harmony and melody. In this painting, the fourth interval’s stability and consonance are visually represented through the harmonious blend of teal and green, reflecting the interval’s role in creating musical structure and coherence.
