Urban Details | 36" x 36"

About the Artwork

Urban Details is a captivating 36" x 36" acrylic painting by Fraser Brinsmead painted on canvas. Brinsmead presents an intimate nocturnal view from within Edmonton's iconic Muttart Conservatory, where the geometric glass pyramids frame an urban vista of the city's illuminated downtown core. The composition captures Edmonton's architectural diversity, from the distinctive silhouette of the historic Fairmont Hotel Macdonald to the modern high-rises that define the contemporary cityscape, all viewed through the conservatory's striking angular glass framework.

The painting employs a dramatic palette dominated by deep cobalt and ultramarine blues that capture the intensity of Edmonton's northern sky, punctuated by brilliant whites and pale blues in the sweeping cloud formations. The city's lights create a warm, golden glow across the downtown buildings, with the Fairmont's distinctive architecture clearly defined against the skyline. Brinsmead's architectural precision is evident in the meticulous rendering of the Muttart's geometric glass structure, where each panel reflects and refracts the city lights below. Reflections dance across the glass surfaces and the water features, multiplying the visual complexity. At the same time, the interplay between the conservatory's crystalline geometry and the organic curves of the distant river valley creates a compelling dialogue between natural and constructed environments. This piece perfectly embodies Brinsmead's signature exploration of how people inhabit and contemplate the urban spaces around them.
