About the Artwork

Quiet Evening in Red Water is a 32" x 48" acrylic painting by Grant Leier created on canvas. The painting features mischievous sparrows with ornate gold, Pyrrole Red, and Cerulean Blue feathers. They appear to be attending a secretive meeting amidst magnolia blossoms and lush foliage. Two decorative vases stand silently as sentinels watching over the gathering, one with Prussian Blue shading and delicate white flowers and the other with Viridian Green and Golden Yellow details. The main focus of Leier's composition is the setting, which is meant to resonate within the bodies of the birds. The carefully painted patterns and forms establish a visual and thematic connection to the subjects. This meticulous process ensures that the foreground and background are intrinsically linked through colour, pattern, and form. The background is a tapestry of geometric abstraction, with liquid acrylic washes of magenta covering a primed canvas of Cerulean Blue. It creates a nocturnal atmosphere for the secretive meeting. The artwork is framed with hand-applied gold leaf, which showcases Leier's dedication to creating art that serves as a decorative oasis, inviting viewers to unwind in the tranquil beauty of his art."

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.
