#46494 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a landscape divided into distinct horizontal bands. A dark, almost black border frames the entire scene, immediately creating a sense of enclosure and focus on what lies within. The lower portion is dominated by a vibrant green field, rendered with broad strokes that suggest lushness and vitality. Within this field, a group of horses graze; their forms are simplified and stylized, primarily in shades of blue and white, contrasting against the verdant ground.
Above the field rises a dense forest depicted in deep blues and blacks. The trees appear as vertical lines, closely packed together, creating an impression of depth and perhaps even impenetrability. This upper section is less detailed than the foreground, contributing to a feeling of distance and mystery. Two slender, pale tree trunks flank the scene on either side, acting as visual guides that draw the eye into the central space while also reinforcing the framing effect established by the dark border.
The color palette is striking: the juxtaposition of intense green and deep blue generates a dynamic tension within the image. The limited range of hues contributes to an overall sense of dreamlike quality or stylized representation rather than realistic depiction.
Subtly, there’s a suggestion of enclosure – the horses are contained within the field, which in turn is bounded by the forest and the dark frame. This could be interpreted as representing themes of confinement, protection, or perhaps even a symbolic portrayal of natures boundaries. The stylized rendering of the horses might imply their significance beyond mere animal representation; they could symbolize freedom, wildness, or an untamed spirit within this contained environment. The artist’s signature in the lower right corner provides a personal mark on the work, anchoring it to a specific creative vision.
