Samara Shuter
Canadian painter Samara Shuter channels her passion for fashion, street art, and graphic design into lush canvases dedicated to the ubiquitous menswear item, the tailored suit. For Shuter, the men’s suit provides a sturdy architectural template from which to explore formal concepts of line, color, and geometric structure; while also blurring the lines between high art, animation, and comic-book drawing.
Getting To Know You #8
"Following my very first body of work The Introduction came my next series of paintings, Getting to Know You, a slightly more realist and graphic-novel-esque portrayal of the Bay St. bombers.
This entire creation was made to elaborate on form over function - experimenting with all kinds of new styles and materials and entering the world of large-scale artwork, and I haven't looked back - only painting bigger and more detailed ever since."
Ode To Pop
This larger than life painting is a medley of colour, made to honour the most iconic and great pop artists of previous generations, incorporating my foundational signature, the suit- re-created in multiples much like the beginning of Warhol’s and Lichtenstein’s screen prints.
Soon to depart to Beverly Hills, this piece will breathe new and old life into a Collector’s home, alongside paintings that inspired its creation.

Brooklyn Babe
Originally Inspired by Brooklyn and made in Brooklyn in a stairwell for a large global hair product brand Amika. Infused with femininity and colours resembling power for all women who speak their truth through creativity, through self expression and exploration living every moment to the fullest.
Heart Revolution
Jessica Gorlicky's work always has and always will be charged by LOVE in all ways imaginable. Colours and movement in random acts of creation is how and why this artwork was created… Plus blasting music, while dancing with the canvas on the floor, making a chaotic disaster in a frenzy of energy and seizing all moments of trusting the process and giving the painting life. Is there anything more full of love? Because what is life without love and expression?
Alexandrya Eaton
Alexandrya Eaton is a contemporary Canadian artist who works in paint and textiles, incorporating the same vibrant palette and feminine icons across all mediums. Eaton’s studio practice examines phases of womanhood and the powerful force that exists between generations of women drawing from the artist’s own personal family experience. Alexandrya Eaton has had over forty-five solo exhibitions of her work and her paintings hang in numerous private and public collections across Canada. Eaton lives and works on Canada’s east coast, in Sackville, New Brunswick, within the traditional unceded ancestral territory of Mi’kma’ki.
Power Suit
Canadian artist, Alexandrya Eaton works in a very physical way, painting quickly and on the floor. Her inclusion of tools such as rollers, tape and handmade stencils facilitates her fascination with the repetition of images. Eaton draws inspiration from her own personal experience as a working mother to create bold saturated images of strong powerful women.
Little Black Dress
Alexandrya Eaton’s paintings are constructed slowly and deliberately by building layer upon layer of vibrant acrylic colour. Referencing pop culture with a feminist twist, Eaton’s artwork draws inspiration from working mothers, and offers a playful perspective of working women as everyday superheroes.
