Mitch Gobel (b. 1990) is an Australian abstract artist based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. Raised on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, his practice draws on the atmospheric and emotional qualities of the Australian landscape, translating these impressions into fluid, layered abstractions.

Working primarily with resin, pigments and industrial materials, Gobel develops his compositions through successive poured layers applied just before the medium begins to cure. During this critical moment, pigments shift, separate and settle organically across the surface, creating dynamic movements that balance intention with chance. Encased in resin, these interactions are suspended in time, evoking a sense of movement beneath a quiet, glass-like surface.

Influenced by natural processes such as erosion, growth and decay, Gobel’s work explores the tension between control and surrender. Colours merge, dissolve and reform, blurring boundaries and reflecting the subtle intelligence and rhythms found within natural systems.

After briefly expanding his practice into acrylic and oil painting in 2022, Gobel returned to resin in 2025 with renewed focus, establishing a dedicated warehouse studio and recommitting to full-time practice.

Gobel’s work is held in private collections in more than 60 countries, with a strong collector base across Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
