#46615 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a stylized woodland scene dominated by vibrant color blocks and simplified forms. A dense cluster of dark silhouettes occupies the lower portion of the frame; these appear to be horses or similar ungulates, their shapes rendered with minimal detail, suggesting movement and a sense of collective energy. They are positioned within a landscape defined by contrasting hues – a bright yellow-ochre sky transitions into a verdant green forest.
The artist employed broad brushstrokes and flat planes of color, eschewing traditional perspective or realistic representation. The trees are not depicted as individual entities but rather as vertical masses of green, their forms somewhat abstracted and elongated. A single tree trunk rises prominently on the left side, its form echoing the verticality of the composition while providing a visual anchor.
The overall effect is one of heightened emotional intensity. The stark contrast between the dark figures and the luminous background creates a dynamic tension within the image. The simplification of forms and the use of non-naturalistic color contribute to an atmosphere that feels both dreamlike and primal, evoking a sense of untamed nature and perhaps even a hint of underlying anxiety or foreboding.
The arrangement suggests a narrative – a group of animals emerging from or retreating into the forest – but this is left ambiguous, allowing for multiple interpretations. The absence of human presence further emphasizes the autonomy and power of the natural world. The work seems to explore themes of instinct, community, and the relationship between humanity and the environment through a lens of expressive abstraction.
