Trevor Vickers: recent paintings, Charles Nodrum Gallery, 26 May - 9 June, 2018, no. 5
Born in Adelaide in 1943, Vickers trained in telecommunications before holding his first solo show, at age 23, at Sweeney Reed’s Strines Gallery in Melbourne (1966). Heralded to contain Australia’s first traces of minimalism, two of his works were included in the significant 1968 ‘The Field’ exhibition that opened the National Gallery of Victoria. During this period, he exhibited at Richmond’s conceptual and post-object Pinacotheca Gallery alongside artists such as Robert Hunter and Paul Partos, and lived in the Drummond Street house in Carlton, which became something of an artist’s colony. After some years in Foster, Gippsland, with friend and fellow artist Mike Brown, Vickers lived in Brighton, England (1978-95), working as a carpenter alongside his art practice. He lives and works in Perth.
