Vancouver-based artist David Wilson's work has long been informed by the oft rain soaked urban environment he calls home. Whether he's traveling 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.

After more than 25 solo exhibitions, Wilson has streamlined the practice of creating a body of work that attracts both long-time collectors and first-time art buyers. "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."

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.
