#46466 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a stylized depiction of riders on horseback traversing a landscape. The scene is structured around horizontal bands of color that dominate the visual field. A broad band of vibrant green occupies both the upper and lower portions of the image, suggesting ground or foliage. Between these green areas lies a central expanse rendered in varying shades of blue, creating an impression of water or sky – or perhaps a combination of both.
Within this central space, several figures on horseback are visible. The riders and their mounts are largely silhouetted in dark tones, contrasting sharply with the lighter background. Their forms appear simplified and somewhat abstracted, emphasizing movement rather than individual detail. They seem to be moving from left to right across the composition, suggesting a journey or procession.
The artist’s use of color is striking. The intense green evokes vitality and growth, while the blues contribute to a sense of depth and tranquility – or perhaps melancholy, depending on interpretation. The limited palette and flattened perspective create a deliberately non-naturalistic effect, prioritizing emotional impact over realistic representation.
Subtly, there’s an element of theatricality at play. The figures appear as if they are performing for an unseen audience, their actions formalized and somewhat ritualized. This impression is reinforced by the stark contrast between light and dark, which lends a dramatic quality to the scene. One might interpret this as a commentary on societal roles or the performative aspects of human existence.
The signature in the lower right corner suggests authorship, but it does not detract from the overall impact of the work; rather, it anchors the image within a specific artistic context.
