Come and let these new works by Ella Whateley transport you. Exhibiting in our Window Pods for 24/7 public viewing until August 3, 2026.

The diptych, Dancing with the Ghosts of Banksia Men 1 & 2, reflects Ella’s experiences of walking through a copse of Banksias entwined with large vines. Growing close to the beach on the edge of Mimosa Rocks National Park, NSW, it is an eerie stretch of woodland that some believe is inhabited by the spirits of lost souls. Ella seeks to capture a sense of this compellingly alive and beautiful place, rich with secrets and significance.

Living a peripatetic life, continually moving between locations, Ella has gradually woven this transience into her practice, aiming to touch each place lightly while capturing the affect of specific environments. She uses strong yet lightweight Asian papers, enabling her to work in remote locations or during local, meditative bushwalks.

Nature is a central source of enchantment for Ella. She creates frottages (rubbings) from the textures of encountered objects, capturing the time and place of each walk while interpreting both the physical forms of nature and their emotional resonance. Back in the studio, she further develops these works, infusing them with atmosphere through layered applications of ink, watercolour, and tonal mark-making to convey the experience to the viewer.

Featuring the wonderful work of in our current Window Pod Exhibition.

The textural detail in these pieces really has to be experienced in person - Now showing for your 24/7 viewing pleasure.

Born in West Java, Indonesia in 1987, Amy Falentine brings the sensory richness of her heritage to every work she creates. She migrated to Melbourne in 2005, and her art remains deeply rooted in the landscapes, traditions, and aesthetics that shaped her earliest experiences — from the intricate geometry of Batik textiles to the movement of Balinese dance, the resonance of Gamelan music, and the legacy of Indonesia's great visual artists. Her work is dynamic, diverse, and unapologetically alive with colour.

Amy received her early training from local artists in her hometown, developing her hand across oil pastels, soft pastels, and oil paints. Her studies at RMIT expanded her practice into gouache, water-based markers, watercolour, textile printing, printmaking, graphic design, and photography — a breadth that continues to inform the layered sensitivity of her work.

Today, soft pastel is her medium of choice. She works directly with her hands, blending pigment to build depth, texture, and an intimacy that she sees as central to her practice. It is a medium that honours emotion and sensory experience — and one that endures: unlike many paints, soft pastel does not yellow, crack, or fade, its colours remaining vivid for generations.

Presenting the joyful work of Raichbhe Walkman (pronounced: Raive), now exhibiting in our Window Pods for your 24/7 viewing pleasure.

Raichbhe’s practice is defined by an original technique: each work begins with hot wax drawn directly onto the canvas, guided intuitively from head to hand. Layers of watercolour, acrylic, and gouache are then applied, building luminous fields of colour that radiate with a sense of joy and spaciousness.

This process forms a quiet act of resistance — an insistence on brightness in a world often shadowed by heaviness. Once the painting is complete, the wax is removed, allowing light to pass through the canvas. This gesture becomes both material and metaphor: even on the darkest days, there are openings through which light can return.

Raichbhe’s works invite viewers into these openings, offering moments of clarity, warmth, and gentle optimism. They stand as reminders that beauty can be an anchor, and that illumination — literal and emotional — can always be found.

Raichbhe has exhibited in Spain, France, and along the east coast of Australia, bringing her distinctive visual language of Australian flora, landscapes, and marine environments to an international audience.

Featuring now in the Window Pods is a magnificent exhibition by Alice Louise - an Irish abstract artist based in Melbourne.

Introduced to painting at eight by her artist mother, she developed an early sensitivity to colour and expressive form. Her background in fashion — as a stylist and designer — sharpened her instinct for composition, texture and balance, foundations that continue to inform her practice.

She works in acrylic on canvas, building layered, gestural surfaces through movement and depth. Using unconventional tools, including Furi knives, she sculpts works that carry energy and emotional resonance.

Alice has exhibited in group shows at St Kilda Library (2023), Minerva Gallery (2024) and Fortyfivedownstairs (2025).
Alice's work is rooted in intuition, movement and emotional presence.

She does not begin with predetermined concepts or fixed outcomes — instead, she enters the studio and allows the work to unfold organically, responding to what feels present in the moment. This openness gives rise to layered compositions rich in texture, depth and feeling.

Each piece is made with intention in her Brunswick studio. A quatrain poem accompanies every original work, honouring the life within the painting and inviting a deeper connection with the viewer.

Exhibiting now at the 621 Artist Space Window Pods is the wonderful Becky Boden Paints – a UK-born painter and print designer based in Melbourne.

Since 2020, she has developed a distinctive visual language that has found appreciation internationally.

Her works are held in private collections across the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States.

Boden's work explores connection, shared moments, and the quiet joys of everyday life. Food serves as a central inspiration—not merely as subject matter, but as a symbol of gathering, care, and creativity. She is drawn to the simple yet profound act of sharing a meal with those we love.

The table appears throughout her practice as a recurring motif. Boden is captivated by how this familiar setting transforms with shifting light and atmosphere, and how a single space can hold entirely different moods as day turns to evening.

We kick off the new year featuring Genevieveve Magilton in our Window Pod Exhibition as the 2025 winner of the 621 Artist Space Award for RMIT University Drawing Studio Graduates. We are delighted to support RMIT's next wave of artistic talent.

Based in Melbourne, Genevieve works primarily in oil pastel and ink. Her practice is led by her curiosity towards the environment, drawing on the natural and structural landscape which intersect in the outer city suburbs. She explores scenes of rural roads through distortion, high contrast and saturated colours.

Return Elsewhere is a series that features 6 oil pastel and acrylic on canvas works which explore the rural Australian landscape.

Drawing on the familiar, these environments are depicted as simultaneously known and unknown, distorted places of transition the viewer passes through. The dream-like setting features recurring subjects of trees and roads, prompting fear and uncertainty through the dark, cold and still scenes.

Our Window Pod Exhibition currently features the vibrant work of Siena Carusi https://www.instagram.com/sienacarusi_arts

We are currently accepting Window Pod Exhibition Hire Expressions of Interest for 2026 - contact us via our website: https://621.com.au/

Siena Carusi is an abstract visual artist based in Melbourne/Naarm, working primarily across acrylic, watercolour, and ink. Her practice is rooted in early experiences of hearing impairment, which shaped her relationship to communication and self-expression.

For Carusi, the visual became a primary language—an instinctive space where perception, emotion, and internal reasoning could be expressed without translation. Her materially layered abstractions reflect an embodied awareness of limitation and adaptation, mapping sensation as much as form, and positioning image-making as both process and presence

The World (acrylic on canvas, each 91.5 x 122cm) is a duo of works that considers the overlapping sensations of exhilaration and fear that surface when moving beyond the known.

Carusi’s work acknowledges an internal tension between comfort and restlessness—between a need for stability and a magnetic pull toward change.

The World offers a quiet, self-directed reminder that growth need not be dramatic to be real, and that small, intentional steps can honour fear and curiosity simultaneously. These works trace the balance between refuge and expansion, and the gentle accumulation of courage required to inhabit both.
