Seven Crows 1980

"Seven Crows" is a 1980 painting by Canadian artist Alex Colville, known for his realistic depictions of everyday life often imbued with a sense of stillness and mystery. This work showcases Colville's signature style, featuring a serene landscape of a grassy field, a winding river, and a distant forest, all rendered with meticulous detail. The focal point is a flock of seven crows in flight, their black silhouettes stark against the muted tones of the surrounding environment. The crows, symbols of foreboding or intelligence, add a sense of enigma to the otherwise tranquil scene, inviting viewers to contemplate their own interpretation of the artist's vision.
