#46487 Andre Brasilier

The composition presents a stark contrast between naturalistic suggestion and abstract form. A dark silhouette of a horse dominates the central space, its posture suggesting alertness or cautious movement. The animal is rendered without detail, appearing as a solid shape against a simplified background.
The backdrop is divided into distinct horizontal bands of green. The upper section displays an uneven texture, hinting at foliage or dense vegetation through brushstrokes that evoke leaves and branches. Below this, a broad band of flat green establishes a ground plane. A thinner strip of the same color sits beneath the horse’s feet, creating a visual separation between the animal and its environment.
The artists use of color is deliberate; the vibrant green creates an immediate sense of vitality and perhaps represents growth or abundance. The dark hue of the horse provides a strong visual counterpoint, drawing attention to its form while simultaneously isolating it within the composition.
Subtleties in the arrangement suggest a narrative without explicitly stating it. The placement of the horse near the edge of the ground plane implies a boundary or threshold – a point of transition between spaces. The simplified forms and limited palette contribute to an overall feeling of quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to project their own interpretations onto the scene. The signature in the upper right corner adds a personal touch, anchoring the work within a specific artistic context while maintaining its enigmatic quality.
