Ways to Access the Subconscious and Personal Abstract Form

Artist-led workshop with Fiona Halse

Join artist Fiona Halse for an exploratory drawing and collage workshop investigating ways to access the subconscious and discover a more personal language of abstract form.

Through a series of intuitive art-making activities, participants will explore tone, line and mark-making, using drawing and collage as tools to move beyond conscious decision-making and uncover instinctive forms, gestures and visual responses.

All materials will be provided. Participants are also invited to bring small objects or images they feel drawn to, as well as examples from their visual diaries or their own artwork to share and discuss with the group.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out - drop a comment or message us to secure your spot!

Date: Saturday, 24th October
Time: 12 - 2pm
Location: 4 Wominjeka Walk, West Melbourne 3003
Price: $20

TIATO, 2026
Silicone, Pigments on Plywood
59 x 55 cm

Created as part of his new 2026 body of work, TIATO marks a continued and refined exploration of Lev Khesin’s distinctive silicone-based practice.

Khesin’s work remains in strong global demand, sought after by collectors and galleries alike.

In this latest series, he further intensifies the material and optical tensions that define his practice, pushing the sculptural capacity of painting to new extremes.

Suspended between painting and object, Khesin challenges conventional boundaries, transforming industrial matter into a tactile, immersive, and unexpectedly luminous abstraction.

Wear the art.

Inspired by one of Gregory Ladner’s recent works, Birth of Gaia, featured in his solo exhibition Garden of Eden, Ladner has created a limited-edition scarf that extends the artwork beyond the canvas.

Join us tomorrow for the Opening Reception of Gregory Ladner’s solo exhibition, Garden of Eden.

Saturday 26 September, 2 - 4pm

Garden of Eden is ultimately an exhibition about creation itself. Embracing spontaneity over certainty and intuition over control, Ladner celebrates the endless potential of a blank canvas transformed through gesture, rhythm and colour.

The result is a body of work that is energetic yet contemplative, offering moments of visual complexity that continually unfold; much like the ever-changing abundance of a flourishing garden.

West End Art Space is proud to present Garden of Eden, a new solo exhibition by Gregory Ladner that marks a significant evolution in the artist’s distinctive abstract practice.

Renowned for his energetic compositions and intuitive approach to painting, Ladner continues his exploration of layered gesture, colour and movement while expanding his visual language into new and increasingly immersive territory. Rich in texture, rhythm and complexity, this latest body of work reflects an artist pushing beyond established boundaries, creating paintings that feel at once instinctive, contemplative and alive.

Join us at the opening reception on Saturday 26 September, 2 - 4pm
