The artist David Wilson discusses his new exhibition The Ground Beneath My Feet at VisualSpace Gallery (3352 Dunbar Street), with Joseph Planta.

Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

David Wilson joins me again. The artist has a new exhibition in town, his first in three years: The Ground Beneath My Feet. It opens Thursday, 12 October 2023 at VisualSpace Gallery, 3352 Dunbar Street. It runs until October 28^th, and I’ll ask David about the breathtaking natural landscapes and the manmade structures that he depicts in his often breathtaking, exciting work. I’ll get David to tell us about the pieces in this exhibition, the art that he commits, and what the city and the various neighbourhoods that he paints mean to him, and his mind’s eye. At once the images are warm and familiar, and at another it can look cold, foreboding. The city feels like that sometimes, and all at once too. I’m a fan of the way David sees this city, so it’ll be good to catch up on how the city’s changed since the last time he was on the program. Visit www.davidwilson.ca, and www.visualspace.ca for more. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, David Wilson; Mr. Wilson, good morning.
