Mount Lefroy is a storied subject in Canadian art, most notably painted by Lawren Harris and other Group of Seven members. My reinterpretation situates the mountain not as a photographic rendering but as a symbolic form — an emblem of endurance, clarity, and the spiritual sublime. The painting is anchored by bold, black contour lines that define both the sweeping sky and the structural facets of Mount Lefroy. These lines, reminiscent of woodcut or stained-glass techniques, organize the composition into planes of movement and rhythm. My emphasis is on verticality and diagonals that lend a sense of grandeur and monumentality,

Richard Austin is a Canadian painter, independent filmmaker, photographer, and former art editor whose multidisciplinary artistic practice is rooted in decades of visual storytelling.
"My practice of creating contemporary, abstracted art based on the Canadian landscape involves vivid colours, flattened perspectives, and assertive contour lines, evoking spaces that feel both familiar and dreamlike, rather than depicting a specific geographic reality. I’m drawn to expansive vistas and ambiguous forms — scenes that stimulate intuition."
