About Untitled
Untitled is a studio with a focus on contemporary figurative, abstract & representational art in the disciplines of painting, drawing and sculpture.
The school has a firm foundation in the technical and observational, and aims at skills transfer and the production of works that are rigorous in form and thought without being limited by the academic tradition, and to do everything possible to nurture each individual's art within the context of a dynamic group environment, regardless of the level at which they start. The school draws on many years of experience and the special expertise of a growing group of professionals and teachers.
In addition to the workshops and weekly classes, Untitled also provides a consultation service. This is aimed at practicing artists needing to overcome deadlocks in the work, or for those wanting a critical and well-informed eye in anticipation of a show.
Part of the ideology of Untitled is to bring art making and art appreciation closer to life, and to make it a greater part of the lives of many. The studio, InSitu, is home to a number of practicing artists, always open for a visit, and a space for art events and exhibitions. Please don't hesitate to get in touch.

[Open Studio Practice]
Untitled is very pleased to announce a new Open Studio policy, whereby artists without studios can make use of the InSitu teaching studio and infrastructure outside of formal workshop time. This is a perfect feature for people in need of space to create but without the expensive commitment of a private studio. It comes with the benefit of working in a community of practicing artists for those who are not in need of any formal tuition per se.
This grants people full access four days a week (Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday).
R 800 p/m
InSitu, 1st floor 3 Hopkins Rd. Salt River.
[Consultations]
For those particularly concerned about the risks of group activity in this time but needing input or a sounding board for their work I am inviting 1 on 1 studio critiques and consultations outside of class times. Bring your work in progress or sketch book and we can discuss what's needed to resolve your work. These will take the form of 1 hour, in studio sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 to 5 pm or at another time by special arrangement. Confirm in advance to secure a slot.
These are charged at R 750 a session.
For painters working independently but still wanting day-to-day long range advice you can sign up for a monthly WhatsApp consultation service. This is good for people who are relatively secure in their material engagement but need a critical outside eye to resolve work or advice along the way.
The fee for this service is R 750 per month
