Salon d’art contemporain – Metamorphose, Paris

Arnaud Quercy Synesthetic Explorations & Sculptural Works Presented in: MÉTAMORPHOSE Group Exhibition at the Halle des Blancs Manteaux, Paris 26 December 2024 – 5 January 2025 Exhibition Statement For the 2024–2025 edition of MÉTAMORPHOSE, Arnaud Quercy presented a selection of works from his Synesthetic Explorations collection alongside a series of sculptural pieces rooted in recovered and repurposed materials. These works align seamlessly with the exhibition’s ethos—transformation through artistic alchemy. In his Synesthetic Explorations, Quercy continues his translation of sound into color and movement, building compositions that arise from musical perception and emotional structure. Through rhythmic contrasts, tonal harmony, and layered abstraction, he renders visible the invisible chords of sensation. Each painting becomes a visual echo of harmony or dissonance—like a score interpreted through pigment. Complementing the paintings, Quercy’s sculptural works reflect a more tactile approach to metamorphosis. Made from reclaimed metals, wood, and urban debris, these pieces blur the boundaries between object, artifact, and artwork. In both mediums, Quercy explores the tension between structure and intuition, reason and impulse, form and freedom. The MÉTAMORPHOSE exhibition at the Halle des Blancs Manteaux—now a Parisian tradition—offered a platform for 60 artists to present works born from reuse, reinvention, and the poetry of unexpected materials. Set in the heart of the Marais, the show welcomed thousands of visitors seeking artistic surprises and meaningful encounters.
