The route is the common English word art from the Latin ars, with a simple addition of the combining form uria from the Greek ouron (urine) to ouria thence to Latin uria a suffix denoting a substance contained in or related to urine as in glycosuria (glucose in the urine). Thence the name Arturia means that art has been melded with piss. 

Art piss.  Perfect explanation!

Hmmmmm ... another Pollock painting!
 
Interesting!

*indeed! to get from the compositional genius that is kandinsky to a pollock one only needs pissed*  aren't we clever?
 
Or should I say *Bapu is 75% pollock*.  har har.

And I'm 100% Pi$$ed.

Nothing wrong with Pollock.

Goes quite well battered with chips and MacDonalds make their fish sandwiches out of it.

Thou art pissed? 
 
(See what I did there?)

Is there some confusion between Pollack and Andres Serrano?

Nah ... we're just thinking about adding rose petals so we can start another War of Roses!

Why do I get the odd creeping feeling that very soon the company "Arturia" may be changing its name?

In the autobiography of Ikutaro Kakehashi (Roland's founder) he says he chose "Roland" because a) it was easily pronounceable in any language (except, ironically, his own), and b) there were no other "R"s in the vendor listing at NAMM.
 
I'm guessing "Arturia" has a similar explanation. Begins with "A", like every company Wylie Coyote ever mail-ordered from. And is much more easily pronounced by English speakers than "Pommereuil".
