Opening Reception: Urban Canvas of Portland

​Discover Portland through the eyes of two extraordinary painters.

​Join us for the opening of Urban Canvas of Portland, a bold new exhibition featuring the works of international artist Soulaimen Aboubacar and Portland-based painter Joy Kloman. Through rich, evocative paintings, the exhibition captures the rhythms, contradictions, and quiet beauty of urban life.

​🖌️ Soulaimen Aboubacar, an emerging international voice, presents expressive, abstract compositions that channel the energy of city life and cultural memory into layered visual narratives.

​🖌️ Joy Kloman, a celebrated local artist, uses sourced vintage photographs and vivid color to reflect on time, memory, and the deeply human moments that define our lives. She will be present at the reception to share stories behind her work and artistic process at the event.

​🍷 Enjoy light refreshments, meet the artist, and connect with Portland’s creative community during this one-night-only celebration.

​Experience the city on canvas—alive, dynamic, and deeply personal.
