André Brasilier in Hong Kong

Description

Brasilier (b. 1929, Saumur, France) is known for his oil and watercolour canvases that depict natural beauty untouched by daily trivialities and events, which were inspired by language, sounds and colours. Reoccurring themes in his works are horses, nature, music and women, set against simplistic and romantic backgrounds. With influences of Abstraction, Expressionism and Japanese ‘Edo’ print work, Brasilier’s distinctive style does not attempt to imitate form, but instead expresses emotion, human intimacy and experience through modest hues and idiosyncratic techniques.
