#46552 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a dynamic scene of horses in full gallop across a vibrant green field. The artist has chosen a high vantage point, looking down upon the action, which flattens the perspective and emphasizes the horizontal movement. A strong sense of speed is conveyed through the blurred forms of the animals and the energetic brushstrokes that define their musculature.
The color palette is dominated by shades of green for the field, contrasted with dark blues, blacks, and whites for the horses and jockeys. The limited range of colors contributes to a stylized aesthetic, prioritizing visual impact over realistic representation. The use of white highlights on the horses’ flanks and legs further accentuates their motion, creating a sense of lightness and energy.
The field itself is rendered with broad strokes, suggesting a vastness that extends beyond the frame. Parallel lines are painted along the top and bottom edges, likely representing fences or boundaries, reinforcing the feeling of enclosure within a defined space. These lines also contribute to the overall rhythmic quality of the work.
Beyond the immediate depiction of a horse race, the painting evokes themes of competition, vitality, and perhaps even fleeting moments in time. The simplified forms and bold colors suggest an interest in capturing the essence of the event rather than its literal details. Theres a sense of controlled chaos; while the horses are in motion, their placement within the composition feels deliberate, suggesting a structured energy.
The signature at the bottom right corner is rendered with a fluid script, adding a personal touch to the work and grounding it within an artistic context.
