Wall Space Gallery is proud to present two exhibitions coming up this August – the “New Dimensions 2025” exhibition in collaboration with the University of Ottawa's BFA program, and a feature of new works by Stewart Jones.

“New Dimensions 2025” is the second annual exhibition in collaboration with the University of Ottawa's BFA program. This years’ exhibition features work from emerging artists Ishani Ghosh, Em Hernandez Velasco, Ruth Kelly-Koebel, Sophia Scanlon, and the duo Sabrina Ferrari and Evalyn Shields. In a world shaped by migration, patriarchy, colonial legacies, and rapid cultural shifts, the question of identity—how it is formed, remembered, inherited, and resisted—remains a central concern. New Dimensions brings together six artists whose practices explore the layered complexity of selfhood through material, memory, and space. Through installation, craft, photography, and painting, these artists interrogate how personal and collective identities are shaped by larger systems and how the visual and tactile can offer new ways of understanding one’s place within or outside of them.

Alongside “New Dimensions 2025”, Wall Space Gallery is thrilled to exhibit a feature of Stewart Jones’ new works. Jones' work deepens his exploration of the overlooked spaces within the urban landscape, those quiet, liminal moments that often slip past unnoticed. Known for his distinctive use of light, shadow, and negative space, Jones invites viewers to engage with the emotional resonance of place. These new paintings push further into abstraction and mood, offering scenes that feel both grounded and dreamlike. Unusual perspectives, sharp geometry, and fleeting afternoon light create compositions that are instantly familiar yet charged with new tension and stillness. In his new body of works, Jones continues to capture the spirit of the city, not through its landmarks but through the forgotten alleys, edges, and shadows that define our everyday experience. We invite you to create your own stories from these in-between spaces.
