Samara Contemporary

We are very excited to exhibit original works by multi award winning author-illustrator, Matt James. Featuring original paintings from his award winning books!

His work has received two Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards, the Governor General’s Literary Award for Children’s Literature - Illustration, the Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award and an Ezra Jack Keats Honor. In 2026, both Rock and The One About the Blackbird were named finalists for the Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award.

Working primarily in oil, Wang embraces the medium’s slow, contemplative nature. Beginning with a sketch or a fleeting image, each painting evolves organically through layered brushwork, allowing the process itself to shape the final composition. Her paintings explore the passage of time through both subject and material, with delicate layers of paint recalling the weathered surfaces of ancient murals.

Since establishing her painting practice, Wang has presented her work at The Artist Project, Artscape Youngplace, and the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, building a growing audience for her distinctive practice. Her first solo exhibition, SOFT SPACE, presented by Samara Contemporary, marks a significant milestone in her evolving career.

We are excited to announce the long anticipated solo exhibition by artist Yeuyang Wang titles SOFT SPACE!
Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday September 5th from 3-7pm.

SOFT SPACE presents a new body of paintings by Yueyang Wang exploring the quiet landscapes of our mental, emotional, and spiritual lives. Through contemplative imagery and richly textured surfaces, Wang invites viewers into moments of stillness, reflection, and connection.
