“Music is like calligraphy with sound”
«Synesthesia» focuses on reflecting on the creative process and beauty of music through the medium of painting. Arnaud takes inspiration from successful acts in music, particularly legendary rock stars, and translates the rhythms of their music into the movement of paint on canvas. The artist explores textures, colors, and moods experienced while listening to the music, as well as delves into the lives and legacies of these musicians.
The collection features large-scale paintings and horizontal diptychs, engaging the viewer in a complex relationship with the artwork. Arnaud's emotive strokes on canvas create an intricate dance, provoking responses and inviting contemplation. The paintings seem to convey emotional expressions and a quest for meaning amid chaotic conditions. Despite the potential loss of control in such states, Arnaud acknowledges that they also give rise to passion, beauty, and harmony.
Overall, it appears that Arnaud's collection is a visual exploration of the profound connections between music, emotion, and the artistic process, inviting viewers to experience and interpret the interplay of strokes, colors, and themes.
