^Lot 26 Terraleen Hrycun (Terry Hrycun), The Rock, Oil on Canvas

Signed lower right T. Hrycun, this Rocky Mountain landscape shows a stark snowbound massif rising from a pale, wind-swept foreground beneath a clear blue sky. The composition is simplified and sculptural, focusing on the angular planes of the rock face and the contrast between warm ochre stone and cool blue-white snow. The restrained palette and open space give the work a quiet, modern western character. Verso inscribed “The Rock.” Art approximately 16 x 12 in.; framed 21 x 17 in.
