About
Guy Grabowsky (b. 1995, Australia) is an artist working with photography currently based in New York City and Melbourne, Australia. Grabowsky graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), Melbourne, Australia (2017) and Bachelor of Fine Art, Honours, VCA, Melbourne (2018). He is currently completing my Masters of Fine Art in photography at Parsons School of Design | The New School, located in New York City (June, 2022 – June, 2024). Grabowsky’s interests stem from conceptual photography and minimalism. He utilizes a hybrid and expanded field of photography and image making — manipulating the photographic print’s intrinsic surface to alter the expectations and perceptions associated with the constructs of the ‘photograph’ and ‘image’.
