Now on view — G4: Jane Farnan: Yokoso


Yokoso — the Japanese word for “welcome” — is the title of Jane Farnan’s latest exhibition of drawings.

Inspired by traditional Japanese noren fabric dividers, Farnan reimagines these everyday objects within doorways and places encountered throughout Melbourne and the Victorian countryside. Both functional and symbolic, noren traditionally provide privacy, shade, and signal welcome.

Bringing together Japanese visual traditions and familiar Australian settings, Yokoso transforms ordinary scenes into quiet reflections on place, culture, and everyday life.

Now on view — G3: Susan Stevenson: Misplacedpaints

Through the prism of childhood memory and imagination, Misplaced continues Susan Stevenson’s exploration of Australian colonial history and settler relationships to the landscape.

Blending abstraction with sparse figurative elements, Stevenson’s works were reshaped following a road trip through Western Queensland, where anthropomorphic forms emerged unexpectedly within scratchy, scrubby, intensely red terrains. Corrugated iron — scattered through the backblocks like discarded ideas — becomes a quiet metaphor for the decline of rural Australian life.

Rooted in the country where her grandparents lived, and where both Stevenson and her mother were born, these melancholic landscapes carry a deeply personal resonance, intertwining memory, place, and inherited history.

Now on view — G2: Sean Holt: Cooking to Widen the Gap Between Us

Cooking to Widen the Gap Between Us explores food as a repository for memory, identity, and human connection. Through charcoal drawings depicting moments of preparation, serving, eating, and cleaning, Sean Holt reflects on the collaborative and cultural exchanges that take place around the table.

Developed through shared cooking experiences with friends and shaped by personal reflections on family and upbringing, the works consider the fragility, intimacy, and ephemerality of connection — where gatherings around food are underscored by nostalgia, distance, and inevitable separation.

G4 Jane Farnan - Yokoso


Yokoso - a Japanese word meaning ‘Welcome’ is the title of Farnan’s latest exhibition of drawings.

Noren are traditional Japanese fabric dividers found in homes and businesses and hung in doorways, windows and rooms. They provide privacy and shade if necessary and indicate if a shop or restaurant is open for business. There are two examples of this in the show.

They are usually rectangular and made of cotton or linen with a split which allows them to be easily pushed aside for access. Noren can be plain or have bold and dynamic images. Farnan has embarked on a project imagining noren in doorways and places she encounters in her travels around Melbourne and the Victorian countryside.

In this exhibition she brings together two cultures to reimagine the everyday.

Jane Farnan is a Melbourne artist who has previously exhibited in group and solo shows at Red Gallery and other local, regional and interstate galleries. She works mainly in ink, pencil, watercolour and oil paint and is delighted to be exhibiting her latest show at Red Gallery.

G3 Susan Stevenson - Misplacedpaints

Through the prism of childhood memory and imagination, ‘Misplaced’ continues Susan Stevenson’s exploration of Australian colonial history and Settler attitudes to the landscape.

Her increasingly abstract and minimal work was transformed after a road trip to Western Queensland as anthropomorphic figurative elements inserted themselves unexpectedly into the scratchy, scrubby, often brilliantly red landscapes. Corrugated iron, blowing around the back blocks like discarded ideas, became a metaphor for the decline of Australian rural life. That marginal country, where her grandparents had lived and both Stevenson and her mother were born, is the site of her extended family’s past and the melancholic images are suddenly very personal.

Susan Stevenson is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist. She has had solo shows in London, Sydney and Melbourne and been part of numerous group shows. She has been a finalist in several art prizes, including, most recently, the Hadley Art Prize 2025, the Omnia Prize 2025 and Omnia Prize 2026. Her work is included in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, U.K. and Europe.

G2 Sean Holt - Cooking to widen the gap between us


Cooking to widen the gap between us is a body of work that explores the significance of food as a repository for memory and identity. Each drawing shows a different process involved in sharing food – from preparation, eating, serving to cleaning – which showcases collaboration, interplay of relationships and the broader cultural exchange of food.

These drawings are a documentation of ongoing collaborative projects with friends who are invited to cook dishes from their upbringing with Sean. Moreover they are a personal reflection on his own relationship with food and his family. These drawings are the aftermath of the nostalgic, bittersweet untethering from his family and upbringing, and a rehearsal of alternate ways of being.

By re-creating moments that have occurred at a table with charcoal, these drawings depict the fragility and ephemerality of human connection, using food and disembodied hands to represent how social gathering is underscored with the inevitability of separation.

Sean (he/him) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based multi-disciplinary artist, working predominantly with charcoal. His work currently explores the process of making – from hosting food functions to using drawing as a tool to re-create and co-create fleeting moments that express the complexity of ourselves and the world we inhabit. He explores ephemerality and the inevitable and paradoxical separation which underscores social connection. A pivotal component to his practice involves the physical act of preparing and sharing food with others.

G1 Eduard Inglés - Hidden Myths

Greek Mythology is not a collection of distant stories but a reflection of our modern lives and our struggles. Hidden Myths uses those old narratives to challenge the origin and consequences of new technology, capitalism and artificial intelligence.

Hidden Myths aims to spark conversations and give space for contemplation. The goal of this body of work is to challenge the viewers’ preconceptions and propose new perspectives on the realities surrounding our lives. Even though Greek mythology has been a subject many times explored by artists, this collection of paintings is exhibited to revive the old narratives and reimagine them through the lenses of our challenging modern society.

Moreover, I created this work to bring to the surface the psychological conflicts that we face when interacting with technology, the moral issues that artificial intelligence raises, and the consequences of human ambition. Creating parallels with ancient stories is a way of asking ourselves if we are repeating the same patterns.

By revisiting these narratives in a modern context, Hidden Myths questions if progress truly separates us from the past, or whether the same human dilemmas remain.

Eduard Inglés is a Barcelona-born visual artist based in Australia since 1999, His work often operates as a visual conversation, forming unexpected associations and inviting multiple interpretations. Through layered compositions and symbolic elements, Ingles seeks to evoke reflection, curiosity, and dialogue between the artwork and the viewer.
