Guy Grabowsky’s practice ranges from pictorial photographs to abstract images, which are created with and without a camera. He utilises a hybrid and expanded field of photography, combining traditional with unorthodox forms of analogue and digital production. Grabowsky combines materials such as tape and acrylic with expressive gestures and minimalist, repetitive motifs, using mark-making as a form of spontaneous visual expression that enhances the dynamism and poetics of his images. Many of the photographs are the result of navigating through both digital and analogue processes. These processes and interventions manipulate pictorial space within his work, challenging our understanding of what constitutes a photograph.

Grabowsky (b. 1995, Australia) is an artist working with photography currently based in New York City and Melbourne, Australia. He completed a Masters of Fine Art in photography at Parsons School of Design | The New School, New York City in 2024, and a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours), at The Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne in 2018.
