Michael Vickers is an artist based in Johannesburg. His work embraces the landscape as a place of elevation, where the mind quietly encounters the sublime.
He engages with the natural world through painting, drawing, and printmaking, as well as a constant use of writings, field notes, and interstitial texts to express the varying observations of light and atmosphere, which are often written within his landscapes, exploring the boundary between nature and culture. His imagery embraces the shifting visual identity of the land, and serves to heighten the notion of what lies beyond us, leading the mind to an uplifted sense of being in the earthly abode.
