About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
“As I Look For You” offers a breathtaking view of the New York skyline, focusing on the city’s iconic architecture framed by a serene, cool-toned palette. The composition is bathed in blue hues, evoking a twilight atmosphere, while the warm, glowing yellow light from the windows provides a stark and beautiful contrast. This light suggests the lives behind the walls of New York’s towering buildings, offering a glimpse of the energy pulsing within. In the background, the river glistens, stretching out behind the cityscape and adding a sense of depth that anchors the composition and gives the scene a vast, expansive feel. The river’s presence is subtle yet essential, leading the viewer’s eye through the canvas and highlighting the city’s relationship to its surrounding landscape.
The iconic silhouette of the Empire State Building commands the skyline, providing a powerful focal point amidst the cool tones of the painting. The reflection of the city lights in the river below further emphasizes the contrast between the stillness of the water and the vibrant energy of the skyline. Wilson’s use of light and shadow masterfully captures the feeling of looking at New York from a distance, where the grandiosity of the architecture merges with the quiet beauty of the surrounding environment. The balance between the towering structures and the softness of the river creates a dynamic tension that is at once calming and awe-inspiring.
This exceptional artwork is signed by David Wilson and is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online. “As I Look For You” captures the heart of New York’s skyline, evoking both the majesty of its architecture and the softer elements of its geography. Wilson’s depiction of the city’s iconic structures against the serene river backdrop offers a moment of reflection, a reminder that New York is as much about its natural surroundings as it is about its concrete towers. The painting invites viewers to pause and appreciate the timeless beauty of the city from a unique and contemplative perspective.
Artist biography:
Hailing from Canada’s Pacific Northwest, artist David Wilson’s work has long been informed by the oft rain soaked urban environment he calls home. Whether he’s travelling the globe or exiting through the studio door, Wilson’s experience of his world becomes a celebration of the season of long nights and drenched, reflective streets.
Wilson has established himself as one of Canada’s preeminent urban landscape painters with more than 25 solo exhibitions. His work tends to step away from the literal translation of a scene into something more interpretive and evocative.
Working primarily with acrylics, Wilson’s paintings are built upon multiple layers of light and colour, infused—beneath the evocative veneer—with the notion of what we know and think we know, or remember.

Working primarily with acrylics, Wilson’s paintings are built upon multiple layers of light and colour, infused—beneath the evocative veneer—with the notion of what we know and think we know, or remember. “I tend to shy away from nostalgia and gravitate towards memory. Be it my own memories or something more collective, I’m most interested in those moments we have experienced, or hope to experience, to remind us of who we are and who we will become. I’m not interested in sentimentality. But I am interested in how our histories can act as tools to inform the future we are all moving toward.” – David Wilson SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2022 From There to Here, James Baird Gallery, Pouch Cove, Newfoundland 2022 In From the Cold, Gibson Fine Art, Calgary, Alberta
