Tritone (C- F#) – Reflexions 22

Description

Tritone (C, F#) – Reflexions 22 Watercolor on paper, 24x32cm Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0688 / 2024 This painting explores the Tritone interval (D, G#) through the interplay of colors: orange (D), and blue (G#). The tritone, known as the “devil’s interval,” is a musical interval composed of three whole tones, creating a sense of tension and instability. It is often used to evoke strong emotions and is integral to various musical genres for its unique, dissonant sound. In this painting, the tritone’s inherent tension is visually expressed through the contrast and harmony of orange and blue, embodying the complex relationship between dissonance and resolution in music. 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.
