#46536 Andre Brasilier

The artwork presents a composition dominated by contrasting color fields and fragmented forms. A warm, ochre-toned background fills most of the space, its surface exhibiting a textured quality achieved through visible brushstrokes or perhaps a printing technique that simulates such texture. This backdrop is punctuated by areas of white and a deep, almost black hue.
The darker shapes appear to be abstract representations of figures or architectural elements, though their precise nature remains ambiguous. They are not rendered with realistic detail; instead, they are defined by sharp edges and abrupt transitions in tone. The forms overlap and intersect, creating a sense of depth and complexity within the flattened picture plane. A suggestion of a chair is discernible at the lower center, indicated by a series of parallel lines that create a lattice-like pattern.
The color palette evokes a feeling of warmth and perhaps melancholy. The ochre background suggests earthiness or aging, while the stark contrast with the black shapes introduces an element of tension or drama. The white areas provide visual respite from the intensity of the other colors, acting as spaces for the eye to rest.
Subtly, theres a sense of confinement or enclosure suggested by the compressed nature of the composition and the way the dark forms seem to press against the edges of the frame. The fragmented quality of the shapes could be interpreted as representing brokenness, loss, or the instability of perception. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, along with a notation indicating that this is one print from an edition of fifty.
