Riva Ceramica Tile Shop
284 Bay Street, Brighton VIC, Australia
Riva Ceramica transforms its Brighton showroom into a creative platform where art, design and architecture intersect. Curated with West End Art Space, the presentation brings together works by Jenny Reddin and Lev Khesin — artists who blur the boundary between painting and sculpture.
Reddin’s award-winning steel sculptures explore balance and gravity. Her work Affinity received the 2025 Acquisitive Art Prize at Sculpture in the Gardens.
Khesin’s richly layered silicone paintings create tactile, sculptural surfaces where colour and material collide.
The exhibition also marks the first public unveiling of a bespoke table by Brahman Perera, developed in collaboration with Riva Ceramica, alongside ceramic works by Alexandra Cerny. Together, these works extend the dialogue between object, surface and space.
Set within the architectural context of the showroom, the presentation invites visitors to experience materiality in dynamic conversation.

Jenny Reddin
Award-winning Melbourne/Naarm-based artist Jenny Reddin works across sculpture and painting, exploring balance, structure and gravity through both meticulously engineered steel forms and surreal painted imagery. Her sculptures include supersized lime green metal cubes suspended as if momentarily floating in space, while her paintings introduce unexpected, dreamlike narratives within landscape. Her sculpture Affinity won the 2025 Acquisitive Art Prize at Sculpture in the Gardens, Wollongong Botanical Gardens.
