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, merging traditional with unorthodox forms of analogue and digital production. Grabowsky’s work is allusive and layered – combining materials such as tape and acrylic with expressive gestures and minimalist, repetitive motifs as a form of mark-making. Many of the photographs are the result of having navigated through both digital and analogue processes, allowing a serendipitous spontaneity to inform the visual dynamism and poetics imbued in the work. These methods of intervention manipulate the pictorial space, revealing themselves while 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.
