Stephen Killick’s ‘commitment is absolute’
Stephen Killick, Device for Orientating Oneself Within the Universe (2001).
Stephen Killick (b.1947) has been making art for fifty years from his studio here on the NSW Mid North Coast. You may have seen his futuristic travellers at Brisbane Airport and/or Device for Orientating Oneself Within the Universe (2001) outside Port Macquarie Library. His artworks are in collections at the Australian National Gallery as well as the NSW Art Gallery, Queensland Art Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria, and the Art Gallery of South Australia, to name a few.
The constant touchstones of Killick’s practice, writes Louise Martin-Chew, are climate and environmental change, war and respite, nature and culture, and the spectre of AI.
“The many facets of what we are and know are assembled in this pithy and electric exploration by one of Australia’s most significant artistic talents. Killick’s commitment is absolute.”
Stephen Killick’s Cartographies of the Absolute is at Luminance Gallery until 26 February 2026.
