About the Artist

Matthew Ablitt was nurtured creatively and born into a family excelling professionally in pottery, design, textile design, weaving and painting. He studied at St. Martins College of Art and Design BA (Hons.) in the United Kingdom and then apprenticed with prestigious Master Printers of London in studios including Pauper’s Press and Hope Sufferance Press. He has had the privilege to assist in production of prestigious etchings such as those by Anish Kapoor in the collection of the Art Gallery of NSW.

Prior to arriving in Australia, Matthew has embarked upon extensive world travel and cites such diverse influences as Asian culture, Moroccan art and pivotal cultural relics from Ancient Greece and Italy as central in his work.

“My work has almost always been based around the figure and the emotive power of the human form which I intensify by evading the face and focusing on the articulation of hands, feet, body language, setting and through the use of unusual perspective. I incorporate abstract forms and repetitive or fractal patterns in order to invoke feeling and suggest an evolving situation. Landscape is also used as a backdrop in order to imply narrative."

“My work is infused with the predominant themes of Belonging and Faith. I am hoping to express that we are guided by the emotive forces, Doubt and Desire.”
