Balthazar Mattar (b.1991) is a London based artist. He has mounted 3 solo exhibitions in London and taken part in art fairs across the UK, Germany and Denmark.

Originally a musician, he studied classical composition at Kings College London from 2010-2013. After graduating he moved into performing, writing and recording in experimental/post-punk projects across London’s leftfield music scenes with Hi-iD and Glass Disguise.

Throughout his music career he dabbled with visual art, but it wasn’t until the start of the pandemic in 2020 that he began practising intensively. Inspired by the angularity of post punk and free jazz, he developed a uniquely graphic style, utilizing vintage typewriters and emulsion paint. This body of work entitled ‘Object Art’ proved itself to be commercially successful and resulted in 3 exhibitions across London.

Feeling that he had taken the style as far as he could, in 2025 he decided to shift his practice into a more figurative and painterly aesthetic. The first collection from this new era entitled ‘Gender Reverie’ deals with themes of identity, and it’s role within male and female archetypes.
