Moon Spill on the Selkirks (2004) | 24" x 20"
About the Artwork
Moon Spill on the Selkirks is a 24" x 20" acrylic painting by Robert Genn, created in 2004. Part of the Robert Genn Archive, this work has never before been exhibited publicly, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire an unseen piece of the artist’s legacy. The painting captures a luminous nocturnal scene in the Selkirk Mountains, where the full moon casts its reflection across the rugged alpine peaks and the rippling surface of a mountain lake.
In this work, Genn demonstrates his gift for distilling vast natural forms into poetic harmonies of colour and design. Layers of blue and violet dominate the palette, with pale highlights tracing the moonlit spill across the water. The scene is pared down to its essentials, yet resonates with a meditative clarity—an image of both grandeur and intimacy. With its restrained tones and atmospheric glow, this painting reveals Genn’s ability to transform the Canadian wilderness into an evocative vision that feels timeless and contemplative.

Accessibility Description
This vertical painting depicts a night scene in the mountains. A pale full moon glows in the upper centre, suspended above jagged alpine peaks painted in cool tones of blue and grey. A cascade of lighter blue brushstrokes descends diagonally from the mountains toward the foreground, suggesting the moonlight spilling across the surface of water. The lower half of the painting shows horizontal bands of shifting light and shadow across rippling water, rendered in deep blues with soft reflections. The overall palette is dominated by variations of blue, with subtle accents of violet and turquoise. The brushwork is simplified and confident, giving the scene a sense of quiet rhythm and flowing movement. The atmosphere is serene and contemplative, emphasizing the moon’s glow and the stillness of a nocturnal mountain landscape.We believe in transparency.
