King is recognised as one of Australia’s foremost contemporary printmakers. As well as completing residencies in France, Morocco, India and Antarctica, he has won numerous awards, including the WAMA Art Prize (2023), National Print and Drawing Prize (2022), Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award (2022) and Muswellbrook Drawing Prize (2019). His work can be found in public collections at the British Museum, National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Art Gallery of New South Wales, among others.

Martin King explores recurring motifs of birds, falconry, and adornment within an expansive and accomplished print-based practice. His work navigates the intersections of nature, narrative, and materiality, often blurring boundaries between image and object, memory and myth.

Senior Printmaker at the Australian Print Workshop since 1994, King’s work is elegant, evocative and esteemed. For collectors of contemporary prints and natural history, Hoodwinks and lyres study for the volumes I reveals a profound beauty.
