Many were dazzled and amazed by Heescos latest show, Manifest, with hundreds of people at the opening viewing a cornucopia of work spread across both rooms of the gallery – check out all the photos from the night, and a heap of artwork.

Now, Heesco will be giving a special one-off artists talk this weekend, to describe the many stories, narratives and influential themes behind the work.

“Rtist Gallery would like to invite you to join Heesco for an intimate chat about his latest body of work, “Manifest”.

After a highly celebrated opening night, Heescos latest has been acclaimed by all who have had the pleasure of viewing it. Within Manifest, he has delved into new, explorative directions previously only hinted at both on the streets, and amongst the many galleries in which he has exhibited. Cultural boundaries, traditional characters, pop and musical icons are all celebrated in Manifest, with each work presented in mediums as diverse as acrylic, aerosol and beautifully rendered lightboxes.

Now, the artist himself offers a rare chance to have a direct discussion regarding the works in Manifest. With an exuberant perspective that straddles worlds both modern and ancient, Australian and Mongolian, each piece presents a unique narrative that delves deep into the heart of the artists imagination.

Enjoy a glass of wine in the relaxed setting of RTIST Gallery as Heesco shares the ideas, passions and inspirations involved in creating each work. This is a rare, unmissable opportunity to gain an insight into the inner workings of one of Melbourne’s finest.”
