Jan Murphy Gallery

As a painter and scholar, Reichelt has investigated the shifts from analogue to digital and concrete to virtual with floodlit precision.

“My painting practice investigates objects that are in danger of becoming obsolete or are in different states of change. For example, past works have depicted abandoned libraries, archive spaces and objects that speak to the aesthetics of collection, abundance and abandonment.

More recently I have branched out into portraiture and historical imagery, while also documenting and memorialising places and things that are important to me, such as my own children and personal photos.” Victoria Reichelt, 2024

Victoria Reichelt studied Fine Art at the Queensland College of Art, graduating in 2005 having completed her Doctor of Visual Arts. She has exhibited extensively since 2001, attracting a number of awards in the process. In 2013 she won the Sulman Prize awarded by AGNSW and has been a finalist in numerous other prizes including the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize, R & M McGivern Prize, Portia Geach Memorial Award, Arthur Guy Memorial Prize and Still: National Still Life Award and the Lester Prize. A major survey exhibition of Victoria’s work ‘Archive – Victoria Reichelt’, was presented at Tweed Regional Gallery in 2020-2021 and she was the subject of ‘Colour Your Imagination – Just Add Books’ at the HOTA Children’s Gallery (2023-2024). Her work is included in collections both nationally and internationally, including Artbank, QAGOMA, HOTA Gallery, Tweed Regional Gallery, Rockhampton Art Gallery, University of Wollongong and Deakin University.
