#46479 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a stark juxtaposition of figures and color fields within a vertically oriented format. A seated figure dominates the left portion of the work; its posture suggests introspection or perhaps melancholy. The individual is rendered with simplified forms and pale skin tones, set against a dense, black backdrop that obscures any discernible environment. This dark area creates a sense of confinement or isolation for the person depicted.
To the right, a white horse gallops across a field of muted blue. The animal’s form is similarly stylized, conveying movement through elongated legs and a dynamic pose. A thick, dark mane and tail add to the impression of energy and freedom. The background behind the horse appears as an expanse of sky or distant landscape, contributing to a feeling of openness that contrasts sharply with the enclosure surrounding the seated figure.
A horizontal band of ochre-yellow runs along the bottom edge, acting as a visual grounding element while also introducing warmth into the otherwise cool color palette. This band seems to separate the figures from an unseen base, further emphasizing their isolation within the composition.
The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, rendered in a delicate script that contrasts with the boldness of the surrounding forms. The overall effect is one of emotional tension – a dialogue between confinement and liberation, introspection and action. The work seems to explore themes of solitude, longing, or perhaps the desire for escape from an oppressive situation. The stark contrast in color and form suggests a symbolic representation rather than a literal depiction of events.
