About the Artist: 

Charlene Vickers is an artist of Anishinaabekwe descent who has been living on the west coast in Vancouver since the 90s, working with painting, sculpture, installation, and fibres. Her deeply personal work addresses themes of urban existence, cultural dislocation, and healing.

Carefully cut, stitched, and beaded by hand, Vickers’ delightful series of felt ovoids has been steadily growing since she started making them in 2017. Resulting from this ongoing daily practice, each layered ovoid is a completely unique composition and configuration of colours in a playful palette.

The felt works are from a series referring to natural forms as well as an artistic movement known as “Ovoidism,” first introduced by renowned Vancouver-based artist Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun. Charlene’s work “nods to a lengthy West Coast lived experience while incorporating her Anishinaabe roots in colourful, playful ways. Some are abstract, symmetrical things; others are little creatures. They somewhat resemble Northwest Coast design, but they’re not at all traditional,” Charlene says. “There are different styles and moments and movements and colours and designs. They’re about generating some sort of energy or something to keep my interest and keep me motivated.”

Recent exhibitions and accolades include 2025 Sobey Award Long List, Indian Theatre, curated by Candice Hopkins at CCS BARD Hessel Museum in Hudson, NY (2023), Reverberations: Contemporary Art and Modern Classics at the Seattle Art Museum (2023), Good Foot Forward, curated by Kitty Scott, Toronto (2023), Big Blue Smudge, University of Saskatchewan (2022), Ancestral Gesture, solo exhibition at Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver (2021), and Where Do We Go From Here? at Vancouver Art Gallery (2020).. Charlene Vickers graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (94) and Simon Fraser University in Critical Studies of the Arts (98), MFA (2013).
