About the Artwork

Olympia Two is a 30" x 34" acrylic painting by Robert Genn, created in 2003. This expansive canvas captures the stillness of a high alpine lake reflecting the rugged mountain peaks that rise beyond. A luminous night sky fills the upper portion of the composition, where wisps of white cloud stretch across the horizon. Below, the calm water mirrors the snow-capped summit, its faceted planes of lavender, rose, and ochre doubling in reflection. A band of dark conifers along the shoreline anchors the scene, emphasizing the vertical presence of the mountain and its mirrored counterpart.

In this work, Genn demonstrates his mastery of design and colour harmony. Flat areas of brilliant pastel tones contrast with bold strokes of violet and deep earth hues, creating balance between serenity and strength. The composition is structured yet lyrical, distilling the grandeur of the landscape into a painting that rewards both distant viewing and close inspection. Olympia Two exemplifies Genn’s ability to honour the Canadian wilderness with clarity, precision, and a painter’s sensitivity to light and atmosphere.

Accessibility Description This large horizontal painting depicts a reflective mountain lake scene. At the centre, a jagged peak rises in lavender, rose, and white tones, with patches of snow across its slopes. Behind it, a range of lower mountains extends in earthy browns and muted violets. The sky above is painted in a flat, luminous mint green with a few elongated white clouds drifting across. A narrow band of dark green conifers runs horizontally along the shoreline, dividing the composition into two halves. Below, the calm surface of the lake mirrors the mountain and sky, with the reflection rendered in fractured strokes of pink, purple, and green. In the foreground, darker rocks frame the water’s edge, providing weight and contrast. The overall impression is one of clarity and stillness, emphasizing both the geometry of reflection and the grandeur of alpine terrain.

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.
