Sławek Blatton is best known for his predominantly figurative art, which seeks a sophisticated fusion of the new and the traditional across mediums such as oil, watercolour, photography, and print. He is particularly recognised for his highly expressive watercolours. By employing classically inspired themes for metaphysical or allegorical purposes, his work uses heightened colour, emotional emphasis, and deformed figures to dissolve the objective form, thereby mitigating the danger of becoming purely illustrative. His diverse body of work also encompasses landscapes – sometimes reworking famous Old Master paintings –as well as an ambitious series of six hundred watercolour female nudes, created to address the perennial challenge of depicting natural forms with a fresh eye.
