Martin King is an artist working in Melbourne , Australia. His wide-ranging art practice is underpinned by an abiding interest in the Australian landscape, most visibly by making connections between land, sea and air. He works in painting, printmaking, animation and drawing.
King’s earlier works on paper traced the movement of rain shadows and the effect of weather patterns across undulating terrain and vast tracts of desert. His more recent works express the fragility of our relationship with nature using creatures of the sky as simple motifs that convey a paradoxical vision of the Australian landscape as both tranquil and unsettling.
Martin King’s works are held in numerous corporate collections, 17 regional gallery and university collections and four State galleries in Australia plus international collections including the British Museum, UK, Carleton College, Minnesota, USA and Bihar Museum, India. Martin King occupies an important place in printmaking in Australia and is acknowledged widely as one of the leading printmakers in the country.
