Life and work
Sloan was born in 1945 in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. He studied at the Royal School in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, and Belfast and Leeds Colleges of Art, the latter in England. He lives and works in Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
He manipulates his negatives and reworks his prints with paints, inks, toners, and dyes, primarily because photography is a photographic medium. He also uses video and printmaking techniques in addition to photography.
Sloan's works are a response to societal, socioeconomic, and religious insocracia. He is perhaps best known for his investigations into the Orange Order in a sequence including: Drumming; The Walk, the Platform, and The Field; and The Birches.
In 2002, Sloan was granted an MBE. He is an academic at the Royal Ulster Academy, a member of the Royal Society of Arts, and a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. In 1988 and 2008, he received the Conor Award and the Gold Medal.
In 2001, the Ormeau Baths Gallery in Belfast held a major exhibition of his work (Victor Sloan: Selected Works 1980–2000). The exhibition History, Locality, Allegiance, curated by Peter Richards at Belfast's Golden Thread Gallery, brought together a large collection of recent exhibits, with a particular emphasis on his video works.
Victor Sloan: Drift, curated by Dr. Riann Coulter, F.E. Curator, F.E. McWilliam Gallery & Studio and Feargal O'Malley, Curator at the University of Ulster, explored a linked yet distinct field, following the Vietnamese Boat People's life from 1979 to 1979, in Craigavon, Northern Ireland.
Sloan rekindled his acquaintance with Ka Fue Lay, who lived in Craigavon as a youth and now lives in Salisbury, England, England. In which Ka Fue Lay addresses his life in Vietnam, shows family photos, and nostalgically recalls his time in Craigavon. Sloan's black and white photographs of Craigavon from the late 1970s and early 1980s, contemporary photographs of him scratching, painting, and bleaching photographic prints, as well as new photographs of Moyraverty.
Sloan's Exhibition Before, in Belfast, Belfast, 2017, the artist displayed an excerpt from an extensive but little-known collection of archival photographs made by Sloan in the 1970s and 1980s in Northern Ireland. The photographs capture Sloan's daily life; the urban growth of his hometown of Craigavon; and the ongoing and persistent presence of the political war.
These photographs served as a kind of preliminary'sketchbook,' influencing the artist's distinctive style and thematics that he would later be known for. Viewed as an exhibit, Sloan's contributions to the Northern Irish documentary tradition are on display.
