Speed dating

Speed Dating Charcoal on paper, 21×29.5cm Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0575 / 2024 “Speed Dating” is an evocative monochromatic piece that captures the fleeting and intense nature of brief encounters. Using charcoal on paper, Arnaud Quercy creates a composition that highlights the transient moments and overlapping interactions typical of a speed dating event. The rounded, intersecting shapes suggest the meeting of different personalities and the exchange of brief yet impactful conversations. The use of charcoal brings a rich, textured quality to the piece, with deep blacks and subtle grays creating a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping forms and fine lines add to the dynamic and somewhat chaotic feel, evoking the hurried and sometimes disorienting experience of speed dating. This artwork is part of Arnaud Quercy’s exploration of human interactions and emotional states through abstract forms. “Speed Dating” invites viewers to reflect on the connections we make, however brief, and the impressions they leave on us.
