Vickers was born in Yorkshire in 1987. He studied Sculpture at Bath Spa University under Roger Clarke and Mariele Neudecker and graduated in 2010. After a period as an assistant at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park he relocated to London in 2012 and worked within the music industry, namely playing the drums for several groups and producing indie record sleeves as a new artistic direction. He also started producing artwork and short films for the podcast ‘Five Minutes of Doubt’, which at present is developing Series Four in the UK. As a result, an inherently graphic sensibility has developed within his work. In 2017, Vickers began a new body of independent work after moving to Turin, Italy; the city which features prominently within the histories of Metaphysical Art and Arte Povera. Consequently, the new environment and his continued interest in Conceptualism manifested themselves in a broad range of artistic styles.
