    What They Wanted
    by David Wilson Urban Landscape Painter

    David Wilson, a Canadian artist hailing from the Pacific North West, uses his artistry to immortalize the magical evenings and rain-tossed cities of his homeland. With over two dozen solo shows, Wilson's mastery of light and color has made him a must-have for curators and newbies alike. Through his work, he seeks to paint the moments of the past and future alike.

    “Rain-soaked city streets reflect so much of ourselves back at us—it’s like peering into a distorted mirror.”

    Urban Landscape Painter David Wilson

    David Wilson is a Vancouver-based painter known for atmospheric urban landscapes that merge representation with abstraction. Using brushes, scrapers, rags, and layered mixed media, he creates works shaped by rain, memory, and shifting light. A graduate of Emily Carr Institute, Wilson has exhibited nationally and internationally for over two decades, earning a devoted following for his luminous, rain-soaked cityscapes.

    "What I Think About More Than Anything Else" by David Wilson | Vancouver Artist

    Artist Statement

    “Water and fluidity run through so much of my work. Living in the Pacific Northwest, the rain becomes unavoidable, shaping how we see and feel the city. My paintings use representational subjects only as a starting point—what matters is the abstraction that emerges through layers, drips, and movement. These surfaces mirror the way memory behaves: overlapping, erasing, revealing, and reinventing itself.”
