The essence of good public art, in my opinion, is to evoke a response. It should be aware of its context and its audience and it must have a simple, defined, concept at its core that communicates with the viewer.

Damian Vick is a leading Melbourne based artist, working predominantly in sculpture and installations.

Emerging from a background in graphic design, his search for a more expressive and physical medium led him to focus his energy and passion for metal, engineering and craftsmanship in 2008.

The natural world, its patterns and underlying principles constitute a major theme in his work. Using metals, timber and other natural materials, his aesthetic explores a landscape that ranges from bold and structured to lyrical and organic.

As a leading Melbourne artist, his award winning works has been featured in exhibitions, blogs, magazines, and television shows.
