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

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.

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

Nocturne by Fionna Madigan

“A fertile zone between abstraction and realism is where I like to work; where scale is ambiguous, where the macro and micro slide in and out of awareness. I commence with compositional goals and encourage random occurrences. Improvisation and transience are integral concepts to my creative endeavours. I’m interested in the experience of perception; what happens when we look at something; the way our bodies and visual cortex metabolise and interpret information. I like to keep the wall between what we know and what we don’t know, permeable. I like to play in the space between what we can control and what we can’t.”

Fionna is an accomplished contemporary artist whose practice has been recognised through numerous awards, prizes and finalist selections, including the 2019 Mayoral Award at the Nillumbik Contemporary Art Prize and First Prize at Art For All, Fairfield Primary School. Her work has also been selected as a finalist in many Art Prizes, including the 2022 Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award, 2022 Lethbridge Landscape Prize, 2021 Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize, and the 2020 Boynes Emerging Artist Award, alongside an extensive history of solo exhibitions.

We’re delighted to welcome Fionna back to West End Art Space as one of the artists featured in our upcoming 2026 Biennale of Colour and Light, opening this October.

AXIS – HALO – PULSE by Victoria Floratos

Floratos’ ability to use the humble eggshell as her medium, creates intricate works of art exploring themes of resilience, transformation and finding the beauty in life’s disruptors. Using this unique texture and symbolic material, Victoria reflects on experiences of rupture; how moments of fracture can lead to renewal and how chaos can be reshaped into something meaningful. Each piece serves as a reminder that even in fragility, there is strength, and even in despair there is the potential for renewal, personal growth and new perspectives.

Her process is both meticulous and intuitive. Each eggshell is broken, collected, and reassembled into layered compositions where cracks, scars, and fragments remain visible. Rather than concealing rupture, Floratos highlights it; turning fragility into a visual language of resilience. The works invite close attention: their textured surfaces hold quiet stories of breakage and repair, echoing the ways life itself is shaped by interruption.
