Opera Gallery Hong Kong is honoured to present Reverie: Landscapes by André Brasilier. Born in Saumur, France, in 1929, Brasilier studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, followed by a 3-year sponsored residency at the Villa Medicis in Rome after winning the Florence Blumenthal Award and the Prix de Rome. Painting for over 70 years, Brasilier has developed an artistic approach that is distinctively poetic and expressionistic, influenced by Expressionist works and classical and jazz music. The artist has always possessed a special affinity for nature, evidenced by the recurrence of horses, forests and plains, rivers, and skyscapes. Apart from his affection for the equestrian world and bucolic landscapes, Brasilier’s wife, Chantal, has been a lifelong muse for the artist. In the upcoming exhibition, a selection of over 20 paintings will take us into the realm of surreal romance populated by spirited horses sprinting across the shoreline, enchanted forests covered by candied snowfall and pensive women lit by moonlight. Brasilier’s paintings allow us to contemplate a golden moment. A dream, a delicate reverie, a moment of lyricism for the eyes and for the soul to escape into.
