An artist that has inspired me for years & still continues to inspire me local painter David Wilson. I enjoy looking at his evocative night scenes of Vancouver & how he controls colour differently in each of his works. His pieces are realistically & simply represented, yet they are very personal & emotional, dealing with his life's big transitions. David Wilson explores relationships between people and their urban environment by digging up new themes in familiar places. I also like his broad & obvious brush strokes & how he turns mundane streets that we see everyday into intriguing & poignant paintings.

This part is great inspiration for me: "explores relationships between people and their environment by digging up new themes in familiar places."
ReplyDeleteWhich parts of his work do you want to be inspired by this time- painting a cityscape or your personal life? broad brush stroke? digging up something new from what you're familiar with?
