#46531 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a stark contrast between geometric abstraction and suggestive figuration. A dominant ochre-yellow field fills much of the background, its surface textured with visible brushstrokes that impart a sense of movement and energy. This warm hue is punctuated by large, dark black shapes – angular and seemingly fragmented – which advance towards the viewer.
Within one of these black forms, a vertical band of red and white stripes appears, immediately drawing attention. The precise rendering of this striped element contrasts sharply with the looser application of paint elsewhere in the work, creating a focal point that feels both familiar and enigmatic. It evokes flags or banners, yet its placement within an abstract context denies any straightforward symbolic interpretation.
Below the black shapes, a scattering of fine green dots introduces another layer of visual complexity. These small details appear almost like foliage or organic matter, subtly softening the overall severity of the geometric forms above.
The artist’s handling of space is ambiguous; theres no clear depth perception. The overlapping planes and flattened perspective contribute to a sense of disorientation and challenge conventional notions of representation. It resists easy categorization, existing somewhere between abstraction and a veiled depiction of recognizable objects or figures.
Subtly, the work seems to explore themes of concealment and revelation. The black shapes obscure as much as they reveal, while the striped element hints at something beyond the surface. This interplay creates a sense of mystery and invites contemplation about what lies hidden beneath the visible layer. The overall effect is one of restrained power and quiet intensity.
