Paul Compton is an illustrator, artist and print-maker based in Melbourne. Featuring creatures real and imagined, Compton’s work is often fantastical in nature, and through his work he blends aspects of realistic figuration with a sense of the absurd. Compton’s creations are a testament to the artist’s ever-present imagination.


Compton’s 2015 drawing ‘ Fallen’, explores interconnection through two entangled spiritual beings floating in a black abyss. Compton’s organic line-work creates a sense of fluid motion, as though the figure is becoming inseparable from the space it inhabits, evoking themes of transformation, vulnerability, and quiet becoming.


Compton has exhibited at galleries throughout Melbourne, and his works are held in numerous Victorian collections including the Maroondah City Council Art Collection and the Darebin Art Collection. For lovers of contemporary Australian printmaking, or those fascinated by fantastical and gothic themes, ‘Fallen’ would be an endearing find.
