The work
The story behind the artwork
Original Vancouver Cityscape Painting – False Creek
False Creek is an original 12 × 36 inch panoramic oil on canvas painting by Vancouver artist Graham Watts, capturing the nighttime skyline and waterfront of False Creek in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The composition brings together several of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. The illuminated roof of BC Place anchors one side of the painting, while the glowing geodesic dome of Science World creates a second focal point across the water.
Between them, Vancouver’s high-rises stretch across the skyline beneath a deep blue evening sky. Reflections from the buildings, stadium and city lights move across the water, giving the scene a strong sense of atmosphere and energy.
The long panoramic format emphasizes the relationship between Vancouver’s architecture, waterfront and surrounding landscape, creating a contemporary interpretation of the city after dark.
Created for collectors drawn to Vancouver art, cityscape paintings and original Canadian artwork, False Creek captures one of the city’s most distinctive waterfront views.
