About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In “On The Way There”, David Wilson takes the viewer on a journey down a slick, rain-soaked street leading towards one of New York’s most famous bridges. The blue tones that dominate the painting evoke a cool, almost melancholic atmosphere, while the bright yellow lights of the cars create striking contrasts as they reflect off the wet pavement. A single car commands the foreground of the scene, while another sits at the bottom of the road, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the looming silhouette of the bridge in the background. The road leads the viewer both physically and emotionally into the depth of the scene, with each element carefully placed to create a sense of movement and distance. The wet pavement and the absence of people add to the sense of isolation, allowing the viewer to focus on the architectural beauty of the city and its iconic landmarks. Wilson’s use of light, particularly the shimmering reflections on the pavement, brings an element of realism to the piece, while his impressionistic brushstrokes capture the fleeting nature of such a moment. The scene is quiet but alive, as if waiting for the next chapter to unfold on this familiar journey. This exceptional artwork is signed by David Wilson and is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online. “On The Way There” encapsulates the timeless experience of traversing New York’s streets, where every turn offers a new perspective on the city’s iconic landmarks and its enduring vibrancy. 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.
