David Wilson's Ground Beneath My Feet takes reflective views of Vancouver, at VisualSpace Gallery to October 28
In new exhibition, painter mixes street views with overhead perspectives of our city perched on the sea
David Wilson’s As The Day Ends.
David Wilson: Ground Beneath My Feet is at VisualSpace Gallery to October 28
IN HIS FIRST SOLO exhibition in three years, veteran Vancouver painter David Wilson unveils reflective new works that look at our city—both from street level and a bird’s eye view.
In the dozen new canvases that make up the show called Ground Beneath My Feet, there are the city night scenes he’s so famous for: in one image, pedestrians with umbrellas step across a rainslicked West 12th Avenue, the historic “Stanley” theatre sign glowing behind them.
But there are also overhead shots, the titular painting featuring a view of the downtown’s highrise-spiked peninsula, the dots of tiny boats in False Creek, and mountains rising beyond in bold blueish brushwork. He seems to be both celebrating and reflecting on our city perched on the sea, finding resonance in ocean, sky, and “delicately stable” ground.
Find the new work at Yukiko Onley’s VisualSpace Gallery—and perhaps see your place here, in this location at this time, in a new way.
The opening reception is on October 14 from 2 to 4 pm.
