Finding Detail Drawing Workshop with Ross Potter | Represent (Part 2)

Artist Ross Potter uses pencil and paper to produce highly detailed, often large-scale representations of his subjects. Through magnifying microscopic features, Ross brings the abstractions of reality to our attention, while telling compelling stories of everyday life. Join Ross for this workshop before he heads to Iceland on his first international residency.

This event is for those aged 18 years and older. 


REPRESENT - Aboriginal Figurative Practice in Western Australia (Part 2)

FORM Building a State of Creativity presents REPRESENT - Aboriginal Figurative Practice in Western Australia (Part 2), the  follow-up show in an exciting two-part exhibition series shown at FORM Gallery.

Co-developed with respected Whadjuk Noongar artist and elder Sharyn Egan, the REPRESENT series provides a survey of figurative practice by Western Australian Aboriginal artists. Part 1 celebrated the senior artists and landmark movements within Western Australian Aboriginal representational art-making, and included works by iconic senior artists from the past four decades. This second iteration of the project highlights the contemporary generation of emerging art stars interpreting figurative practice today.
