#46555 Andre Brasilier

The artwork presents a stylized depiction of horses in motion across a landscape. The composition is divided into three distinct horizontal bands: a vibrant green ground plane, a central field populated by equine figures, and a textured blue sky above. The artist employed a limited palette, primarily utilizing shades of green, blue, and black with touches of white to suggest highlights.
The foreground’s green band is rendered in broad strokes, creating a sense of expansive space. Rising from this plane are vertical forms – likely intended as trees or perhaps stylized reeds – which partially obscure the central action. These elements are not depicted realistically; instead, they appear as simplified shapes with rough edges and uneven surfaces, contributing to an overall impression of abstraction.
Within the middle ground, a group of horses gallops forward. Their forms are similarly reduced to essential outlines, lacking detailed anatomical rendering. The artist prioritized conveying movement through their dynamic poses and the blurring effect achieved by suggesting multiple positions within a single frame. This technique evokes a sense of speed and energy.
The upper band, representing the sky, is characterized by horizontal brushstrokes that create a layered texture. These strokes vary in intensity, producing an impression of depth and atmospheric perspective. The blue hue dominates this section, contrasting with the green below and further emphasizing the separation of the landscape’s elements.
Subtly, the work seems to explore themes of freedom and natural power. The horses unrestrained movement across the open field suggests a sense of liberation. The simplified forms and flattened perspective contribute to an almost dreamlike quality, distancing the viewer from literal representation and inviting contemplation on broader concepts related to nature, motion, and perhaps even the passage of time. The deliberate lack of detail encourages individual interpretation and allows for multiple readings of the scene.
