David Bolduc’s York Wall Art is a luminous abstract watercolour built around a broad field of yellow, chartreuse, and pale green. Within this glowing ground, loosely arranged geometric forms appear to float like signs or fragments of an invented language. Red-orange wedges, deep blue triangles, turquoise bars, and small violet accents create sharp bursts of colour against the softer washes.



Vertical bands rise along both sides of the composition, resembling posts, towers, reeds, or architectural supports. Near the centre, a large yellow shape is interrupted by irregular white passages where the paper has been left exposed, giving the image a sense of light and openness. The repeated shapes suggest a playful façade, mural, or imagined urban structure without resolving into a literal scene.



Bolduc balances saturated colour with translucent washes and areas of untouched paper. Soft bleeding edges contrast with firmer, more opaque marks, creating a composition that feels spontaneous yet carefully organized. The result is cheerful, energetic, and slightly mysterious, combining the brightness of a summer landscape with the visual rhythm of modernist abstraction.
