Ziggy Played Guitar

Join resident artist David Kudaisi for an abstract painting and drawing session with a twist.

David will share a 20 minute talk about his practice. He’ll cover the inspirations behind his work, his journey to becoming at artist and why he feels it is important for abstract art to be more accessible for everyone.

Following the talk the session will open into a free flowing studio where you will work in groups on large scale canvases on the floor - with the opportunity to paint, collage and write. Participants are encouraged to express themselves however they feel, letting go, getting playful and making something without pressure.

Expect a vibe set by music and projections - designed to give a sense of what it’s like to be inside Davids head while he creates.

For participants that book early bird tickets there is the exciting opportunity to be gifted a small personalised abstract piece made for you by David. In the booking form you will be asked to share a few personal details that will inspire the piece. This could be short playlist (5–6 songs), favourite colour, a memory or something meaningful to you.

David’s work blends abstract expressionism with figurative elements, drawing from a life shaped by global movement and cultural diversity. Influenced by cartoons, anime, and raw emotion, he uses vibrant colour, geometry, and layered storytelling to explore identity, memory, and self-reclamation. His practice is deeply personal yet universally resonant—rooted in introspection, shaped by lived experience, and committed to creating spaces where people feel seen.

This workshop is for adults.
