About the Artwork

Le Chant de l etang is a 40" × 40" acrylic on canvas painting by Ilinca Ghibu, presented in an artist frame.

Colour gathers gradually in Le Chant de l etang. Across the pale blue-grey upper field, small pink and yellow forms appear through the paint, some barely visible, others edged in dark green. The marks become fuller and more closely packed as the eye moves downward, until coral pinks, olive greens and inky blues form a loose band along the base. There is no hard line between the open space above and the denser passage below; stray marks carry colour back and forth across the square canvas.

Up close, the surface is as varied as the composition: fine drawn lines meet scraped patches and raised strokes of paint. Forms seem to come into focus and then slip back into the pale ground, giving this quiet arrangement its visual movement.

Artwork Care

CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK

Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.

Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.

Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.

Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.

Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.

Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
