#46516 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a stark contrast between two dominant color fields: a deep black and a warm, muted gold. Within this division, a figure is discernible, positioned primarily within the golden area but with significant portions extending into the darkness. The individual appears slender and elongated, exhibiting a stylized representation rather than realistic depiction. Their head is tilted downwards, suggesting introspection or perhaps melancholy.
The artist employed a limited palette and simplified forms to create an atmosphere of quietude and restraint. Lines are clean and decisive, contributing to the overall sense of order despite the inherent emotional weight conveyed by the figure’s posture. The gold field isnt uniformly colored; subtle variations in tone suggest texture or light source, preventing it from appearing flat.
The placement of the figure against this backdrop implies a separation, a sense of isolation. It is difficult to determine the context of their presence – are they observing something beyond the frame? Are they engaged in an activity that remains unseen? The ambiguity encourages contemplation on themes of solitude and internal experience.
The signature, located at the lower right corner, appears delicate and understated, further reinforcing the painting’s overall tone of quiet elegance. The numbering 87/100 indicates this is a print from a limited edition, adding another layer to its value and perceived uniqueness.

The work evokes a feeling of restrained drama; it isnt overtly expressive but rather relies on subtle cues – posture, color contrast, compositional arrangement – to communicate a sense of quiet introspection and perhaps underlying sadness.
