Artwork location: Canada

This captivating work captures the vibrant and dynamic essence of a city bustling with nighttime activity. The bold and expressive use of warm colours, primarily shades of red, orange and brown, beautifully juxtaposes with the sporadic splashes of blue and green. Each brushstroke seems to be a testament to the intensity and speed of urban life. The composition is structured in such a way that the viewer is immediately drawn to the centre of the canvas, where the illusion of depth is heightened by the linear perspective of the buildings and streets. The architectural elements, although suggested rather than defined, give the work a sense of constant movement and organised chaos, reflecting the sometimes disorderly but always energetic nature of modern metropolises. The shiny and reflective appearance of the ground, probably wet from rain, adds another dimension to the scene, doubling the lights and shapes and creating a fascinating mirror effect. The artist's skill in manipulating texture gives the work an almost tactile quality, inviting the viewer to experience the city not only visually, but also physically. This painting is not a simple depiction of an urban street, but a sensory immersion into the electric, pulsating atmosphere of city life. Fans of urban art and contemporary scenes will find this piece a masterful celebration of the inexhaustible energy of cities, rendered with exceptional technical virtuosity and artistic sensitivity.

David Tycho, Chinatown
Canada  • 1959

Presentation

David Tycho is a Canadian artist born in 1959 who lives & works in Vancouver, Canada. He attended the University of British Columbia, where he studied painting under renowned Canadian artist Gordon Smith. 

After graduating, David moved to Asia for four years, an experience which had a deep and lasting effect on his art. Tycho had his first solo show in 1993 in his hometown of Vancouver. Since then, his art has straddled the genres of abstraction and representation, at times more experimental and intuitive and at other times more reflective of his surroundings. 

His works are inspired by subjects ranging from pristine wilderness to urban sprawl, to the people he encounters in his daily life. In addition to painting, in 2020, Tycho began working with photography and digital media, resulting in digital composite images printed on aluminum.
