About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In this oil on canvas, Lisa Bisbee turns her attention to Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall, rendering the brick building in bold reds and purples, set against an electric pink sky. The brushstrokes carry texture and rhythm, characteristic of her abstracted cityscape style, giving a sense of both permanence and energy to the historic site.
Artist Statement:
In 1984, we visited Boston University campus, thinking that I might go there for University. Of course Faneuil Hall was on our list of things to do while in the city. Revolutionary leaders like Samuel Adams delivered speeches in Faneuil Hall and the meetings held there led the way for the Boston Tea Party in 1773. It was the cobblestones that stood out for me, these old blocks where revolutionary history was made, where Samuel Adams would have walked hundreds of years ago. It was like walking through a history book.
The palette mixes historical resonance with a contemporary eye—reds for the building’s façade, layered violets for the cobblestones, and a dramatic sky streaked with warm pinks and yellows. These choices heighten the narrative of the piece, blending history with Bisbee’s expressive style to create a vibrant connection between Boston’s revolutionary past and its modern presence.
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
