About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. '"Hold my hand!" I remember my grandmother saying as we crossed the street. I didn't want to, thinking I was old enough being eleven. She was ever insistent and that irked me so I bit my tongue and held her hand since her tone was harsh. The junction of traffic was bustling. The cars were flying by and it must have scared her thinking about my safety, I know that now. She cared about me. Painting these London scenes bring me closer to her, like a time-machine, going back. In my painting, the double-decker bus is really vivid using Gapka's brand of fluorescent oil paints. I’m trying to make that red as juicy as possible. I spent about a half of an hour blending the background. It takes forever, You wouldn’t know it, but I guess I’m a perfectionist.' - Lisa Bisbee This oil painting captures the vibrant essence of London’s Piccadilly Circus in a bold, impressionistic style. A classic red double-decker bus dominates the foreground, curving along a brightly lit street. The surrounding architecture is rendered in warm tones of yellow, orange, and pink, with glowing windows that add a sense of energy and liveliness. The textured brushstrokes create movement and depth, while the pink-hued sky enhances the surreal and artistic atmosphere. The painting beautifully conveys the dynamic charm of London’s cityscape. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. 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.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of these stunning pieces by exploring our online collection or visiting our gallery for an unforgettable experience. “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
