Urban Shoreline | 36" x 48"

About the Artwork

Urban Shoreline is a stunning 36" x 48" acrylic painting by Fraser Brinsmead created on canvas. Brinsmead skillfully depicts one of Edmonton's beloved riverfront scenes, featuring the iconic Rossdale Power Plant with its unique red brick facade and tall white smokestacks alongside the gracefully modern lines of the Walterdale Bridge. This composition showcases the evolution of Edmonton's infrastructure, from the historic High Level Bridge and Dudley B. Menzies Bridge, which add layers of depth to the image, to contemporary landmarks like The Pearl residential tower rising in the backdrop. The golden dome of the Alberta Legislature Building anchors the scene, weaving a visual story of Edmonton's transition from industrial roots to contemporary urban sophistication.

Fraser utilizes a bright and cheerful colour palette, primarily highlighting cerulean and cobalt blues that reflect the North Saskatchewan River's smooth surface, contrasted by warm golden and peach hues illuminating the sky, reminiscent of the golden hour. With his architectural background, Brinsmead effectively renders the brick details of the Rossdale Power Plant and the steel cable structure of the Walterdale Bridge with striking clarity, all while maintaining the painting's artistic essence. The rich emerald and forest greens of the esteemed river valley provide a natural framing effect that softens the urban landscape, while perfect reflections in the still water amplify the visual impact of the Power Plant's smokestacks and The Pearl's modern outline. The contrast between the historic red brick of Rossdale and the sleek curves of the Walterdale Bridge encourages a vibrant dialogue between Edmonton's past and present. Light plays a vital role, with warm reflections shimmering on the water's surface, accentuating the bridge's architectural beauty and generating depth and movement within this Edmontonian moment of urban serenity.
