#46522 Andre Brasilier

Here we see a composition divided into distinct horizontal bands, creating a layered effect that emphasizes depth and perspective. The uppermost band is dominated by a deep blue sky, punctuated by a vibrant pink stripe that cuts across its width. This line introduces an element of unexpected color and visual energy against the otherwise somber tone.
Below the sky lies a dark brown landmass, rendered with broad strokes suggesting a vast, undulating terrain. A thick, dark green band sits atop this, representing vegetation or perhaps a dense forest edge. The artist’s use of these darker tones creates a sense of distance and mystery, hinting at an expansive landscape beyond what is immediately visible.
The lowest portion of the painting depicts a body of water – likely a lake or pond – rendered in a similar blue hue to the sky, though slightly lighter. Silhouetted against this reflective surface are two equine figures, their forms simplified and dark, adding a focal point within the composition. Their presence evokes themes of freedom, wildness, and perhaps solitude.
The painting’s color palette is striking: the juxtaposition of deep blues, browns, greens, and the unexpected pink creates a visual tension that draws the eye across the canvas. The artists brushwork appears loose and expressive, contributing to an overall feeling of spontaneity and emotional intensity. The composition feels somewhat stylized, with flattened perspectives and simplified forms, suggesting a focus on conveying mood and atmosphere rather than precise realism.
The inscription at the bottom left corner (Éphémère d’air) suggests a fleeting or ephemeral quality – perhaps referring to the transient nature of the scene depicted or the emotional impact it evokes. The signature in the lower right corner indicates authorship, grounding the work within an artistic context.
