About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. With oil on canvas, Bisbee reimagines the famous Boston Marathon route in her signature abstracted cityscape style. Using thick textures and painterly strokes, she evokes both the movement of the race and the emotional charge surrounding this location.
Artist Statement:
My sister ran the Boston Marathon twice. In 2013, she was ten minutes away from the finish line when the explosion happened. My heart sunk when I heard the news, not knowing for an hour whether she was ok. She said that the race came to an immediate halt after the explosions, and being from out of town, she didn't know where to go. She used a stranger's cell phone to call the family to let us know that she was safe saying, "Another woman stopped and she asked me if I needed a blanket. She just handed me a blanket out of her car and said to use it and get warm, just acts of kindness," Ever since I could remember, she had been a runner, and I was so proud of her efforts to make it to the such a prestigious marathon, raising money for a non-profit, Project Hope.
The palette of bold pinks, lavenders, and yellows creates a surreal atmosphere, making the scene both celebratory and haunting. The word FINISH stands boldly in the foreground, a symbol of triumph and resilience. The painting becomes more than a cityscape—it is a deeply personal meditation on survival, kindness, and community spirit.
Artist biography:
Lisa Bisbee is a contemporary cityscape artist based in New York City. In her ongoing series of over 50 oil paintings titled "Bright Lights Pink City," Bisbee captures snapshots of urban architecture within a dreamlike atmosphere. Her work portrays both ordinary moments of daily city life and iconic landmarks such as the Guggenheim, Brooklyn Bridge, and Washington Square Park. Navigating the concrete jungle is an exhilarating experience for her, teeming with anticipation at every street corner. She aims to encapsulate the magical sensation of seeing the city with fresh eyes, imbuing her artwork with the essence of this exciting perspective. Through her art, she invites viewers to embark on a journey that renews their connection to the vibrant spirit of NYC, sparking a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation for its enchanting allure.
Bisbee's NYC series of over 50 oil paintings depicts her adventures through the city, using vivid colors to showcase a vibrant metropolis. Influenced by her study of art history, particularly the Fauvism movement, she adopts the movement’s unique arrangement of colors—offbeat and unreal. She blends this concept with the exciting energy of New York City, aiming for the vibrancy to pop off the canvas much like how modern technology allows filters to alter photos and edit reality. Her palette includes neon pinks, fluorescent oranges, deep purples, bright yellows, and blues. Using Gapka oil paint from a small handmade artisan paint company, the colors achieve incredible saturation.
Each painting in Bisbee's series serves as a snapshot of her urban expeditions through the city. Inspired by her photographs, she translates the experience of being in New York into joyful, vibrant oil paintings. Her work illustrates urban architecture and city life, from typical moments at crosswalks to landmark destinations like the Guggenheim, Brooklyn Bridge, and Washington Square Park. She captures experiences like viewing the skyscrapers from the East River ferry or seeing NYC from a bird's-eye view at sunset, depicting these moments with a blend of excitement and anticipation.

“In my artistic pursuit, I find immense joy and gratitude by infusing moments with a touch of romance. Through carefully constructed scenes in my oil paintings, I have the power to transform reality into uplifting and inspiring depictions that pay homage to the inherent goodness found in people, places, and things. Regardless of whether I’m faced with gritty or overlooked settings, I dedicate myself to envisioning their metamorphosis into spaces filled with dignity, fun, frolic, happiness, and wonder. By offering fresh perspectives on familiar sights, I create vibrant and surreal renditions of the natural world that invigorate attitudes and foster a deep appreciation for our beautiful human existence. By employing a vivid color palette and whimsical lines that dance in rhythmic patterns across the canvas, I envision of a better world infusing life into my brushstrokes to vividly express the emotions stirred during my urban escapades in the heart of New York City.”-Lisa Bisbee
