Jonathan Tang (b. 1996) is a Canadian artist who lives and works between Toronto and New York.
Tang's paintings draw from both dreams and observation, tracing themes of restraint, isolation, and decay through a sustained engagement with psychoanalysis and psychology. The work depicts bodies floating, suspended, or resting in atmospheric spaces; neither fully grounded nor fully weightless, they dissolve into their environments through colour, form, and spatial relations.
