Marques Vickers, the California figurative artist, has established his working studios in northern California and southern France since becoming a professional artist in 1997. Vickers’ work is predominately oriented toward action female forms, nudes, and full body casts.
Born in 1957, Vickers grew up in Vallejo, California. He was a 1979 graduate of Azusa Pacific University and completed postgraduate work at the University of Bourgogne in Dijon, France. He was the executive director of the Burbank, California Chamber of Commerce from 1979–84 and vice-president of sales for AsTRA Tours and Travel of Los Angeles from 1984–86.
An entrepreneur before becoming an artist, he has initiated and managed several business enterprises and is an internationally recognized spokesperson on the growing marketing role the Internet is assuming in the fine arts industry. His numerous self-produced Web sites have been the recipient of several Golden Web Awards from the International Association of Web Masters and Designers (IAWMD).
His biography has been included in the Marquis Publications’ Who’s Who in America since 2003. His work has been exhibited and profiled internationally and is part of several individual and corporate collections and commissions. Figurative artists who have been influential in his artistic evolvement include Constantin Brancusi, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Arp, Henry Moore, George Segal, Nathan Oliveira, Concha Benedito, Robert Arneson, and Manuel Neri.
His artwork has been exhibited and profiled internationally and is part of several individual, public art and corporate collections. One of his works has been selected annually in open competition for the past four consecutive years for exhibition at the MAC21 Contemporary Art Fair in Marbella, Spain, the second largest modern art fairs in that country.
