About
Bio
d. lance vickery was raised in Florida. Early, as an aspiring two-dimensional artist, deeply rooted in formalism, Lance attended Florida State University, where he met Charles Hook. Hook changed Lance's perception of art and sculpture. Hook held the position that all "Sculpture is real, all painting and photography, no matter how realistic is abstract. Two dimensional work always requires the viewer to imagine the third dimension.”
That position struck a chord with Lance. He quickly transitioned in to working primarily in sculpture. After receiving his BFA in Sculpture from FSU, he moved to Kentucky. While there, Lance worked with Jack Gron, he received his MFA in Sculpture from University of Kentucky. Currently, Lance is teaching Sculpture and the Figure at the University of North Florida.
Artist Statement
Lance's work balances between formalist sculpture and aesthetics and conceptual considerations of materials. His work often works towards the tension between interiority and exteriority, both metaphorically and physically. These ideas manifest themselves in process, materials and concepts. The pieces are rich in surface, texture and color, while visceral and physical in the process by which they were created. Lance has the facility to move freely between two and three dimensions without compromising the elements of his aesthetic.
