The electrified work of David Wilson offers up a storied love affair with light and the radiance of water at play on city streets which results in paintings that transform the bustle of metropolitan scenery into enchanting tableaus.
With an underbelly of deep luminosity Wilson’s pieces firmly highlight the spectacle that is the dance of liquid and effervescent light in municipal settings. Artfully capturing the reflective quality of soaked streets and pools of rain the artist renders distortion somehow conversant and comforting at once with moody contrast and an almost neon like colour palette. The magic of a city evening becomes aglow with a spectacle of starry hues, powerful shade and a deeply soothing aura of fluent familiarity.
Wilson’s predilection for elevating the inherent beauty of the urban landscape has made the artist a well-known master of the translation of internal reflection into an external mirroring of light before our eyes.
