#46613 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a densely layered scene dominated by verdant hues. A thicket of stylized foliage forms the immediate foreground and frames the view, its verticality emphasized through bold, repetitive brushstrokes in shades of green. These strokes are not rendered with meticulous detail; instead, they convey an impressionistic sense of abundance and vitality.
Beyond this screen of greenery, a more distant landscape emerges. A band of muted grey-blue suggests a horizon line or the edge of a body of water. Above that, a darker mass – likely trees or dense vegetation – creates a focal point in the middle ground. The artist’s use of color here is restrained, contrasting with the vibrancy of the foreground and contributing to a sense of depth.
Within this landscape, two figures are discernible. They appear as simplified forms, rendered in pale grey tones, seemingly engaged in an activity that remains ambiguous due to their scale and distance. Their presence introduces a human element into the otherwise naturalistic setting, hinting at interaction or observation within this environment.
The overall effect is one of enclosure and contemplation. The dense foliage creates a sense of intimacy and seclusion, while the distant landscape invites speculation about what lies beyond. The limited palette and simplified forms contribute to an atmosphere that is both tranquil and slightly melancholic. The artist’s signature in the lower right corner, along with the indication E.A. 9/20, suggests this work is a proof print from a small edition.
