About the Item

David Wilson’s Out Of The Way captures a rainy evening in the city, where headlights slice through the wet pavement, illuminating the slick streets with dynamic reflections. This acrylic on canvas painting epitomizes contemporary realism cityscapes, blending expressive brushstrokes with precise architectural detailing. The composition draws the eye toward the horizon, where the towering buildings and glowing streetlights frame the movement of cars navigating the soaked roads.
Wilson’s masterful use of color creates a moody yet inviting scene, dominated by deep blues, cool grays, and the warm glows of city lights bouncing off the glistening asphalt. The interplay between warm and cool tones heightens the sense of contrast, emphasizing the reflective textures of the rain-soaked environment. The wet streets shimmer with golden, white, and electric blue highlights, giving the work a vibrant energy that feels both cinematic and atmospheric.
The brushwork in Out Of The Way is both gestural and controlled, capturing the blurred motion of the urban rush while maintaining the crisp precision of the surrounding architecture. The layering of paint brings depth to the scene, making the viewer feel as if they are standing at the edge of the street, taking in the beauty of a fleeting city moment. Wilson’s ability to translate movement, light, and mood onto canvas makes this piece a striking addition to any contemporary art collection.
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
