David Wilson Art

Canadian
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.  “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 2021 Roughly Speaking, Elevation Gallery, Canmore, Alberta 2020 Close to Home, Kurbatoff Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2019 Everywhere From Here, 1387 Railspur Alley, Granville Island, Vancouver, BC 2018 Water, Kimoto Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2017 Interrupting the Interface, Kimoto Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2016 Absence, Kimoto Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2015 Light and Colour, Kimoto Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2015 New Works, James Baird Gallery, Pouch Cove, Newfoundland 2014 Intersections, Kimoto Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2013 Construct/Deconstruct, Winsor Gallery, Vancouver BC 2012 New Works, Bugera Matheson Gallery, Edmonton, Alberta 2011 If I Could Have It All I Would Give It to You, Winsor Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2010 New Works, Ian Tan Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2009 Somewhere in the Middle, Ian Tan Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2008 Transitions, Atelier Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2007 More Than Blue, Atelier Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2006 Winter, Atelier Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2005 Here and There: 100 New Works, Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, BC 2005 Here and There, Aion Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2004 Illumination, Aion Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2003 Fragments, Anne Carlson Fine Art, Vancouver, BC 2000 New Works, John Ramsay Gallery, Vancouver, BC 1999 Vancouver Landscapes, John Ramsay Gallery, Vancouver, BC 1993 New Works, Barret-Post Contemporary Art, Vancouver, BC GROUP EXHIBITIONS 2017 Water, James Baird Gallery, Pouch Cove, Newfoundland 2011 Two Artists, David Wilson and Gabryel Harrison, Agnes Bugera Gallery, Edmonton, AB 2010 Dusk/Dark: David Wilson and Ian Rawlinson, Agnes Bugera Gallery, Edmonton, AB 2009 Two Man Exhibition: David Wilson and Andre Pettersen, Wallace Gallery, Calgary, AB 2008 Dog Days of Summer, Atelier Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2008 Noctuary, Agnes Bugera Gallery, Edmonton, AB 2007 Dog Days of Summer, Atelier Gallery, Vancouver, BC 2006 Gallery Artists Exhibition, Atelier Gallery, Vancouver, BC

View from the Train: Cityscape Oil Painting, View of Brooklyn

By Patty Neal

Located in Hudson, NY

View from the Train, 2019 24" X 40" x 1", oil on canvas This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan view is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers an intimate view of the city, as seen from a window, as it peeks from behind two metal structures. The dark browns and bright golds beautifully compliment the dusty blue, gray sky. Neal works highlight everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus. Artist statement: A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
