He is perhaps best known for his large-scale watercolour close-ups of pine trees, which he began painting in 1996.
The watercolours are detailed portraits of trees, including old-growth pines in Temagami, Ontario, and deciduous trees found in his local area.
Wiens photographs the trees and then painstakingly reproduces their texture, colour and scale.
The renderings are extremely detailed and dense.
Wiens’ tree portraits also function as memorials to, or remnants of the destruction of Canadian forests.
As John Armstong writes in C Magazine, "Wiens creates, in his pinpoint framing and cool description, a chilly distance between the living trees and what we see in the gallery: he gestures both romance and the deadpan optics of a ledger. Without any didactic tone, these paintings chronicle a simultaneously grim and poetic politic."
