Pike’s calculated renderings of the “European Street Scene” create a photo-realism mixed with impressionistic style. Reality is made to look so overpoweringly real as to make it pure illusion. Through the basically magical means of point-for-point precision rendering the actual is portrayed as being so real that the viewer believes it exists. What does exist off the canvas is the mind, which conceived of the idea of the painting of a photograph of reality, in all its intrinsic implausibility. Whereas classical painters through the ages have idealized reality itself, the “classical” New Realists have totally devalued reality in order vastly to completely abstract the human brain. Pike admits “Photo-Realism mixed in with Impressionism is basically not realism at all. More correctly, it is the plastic offshoot of today’s conceptual arts. Born in Brussels in 1936, Thomas Pike first came to the United States in 1967. He began his studies with Architecture but soon found more opportunities for expression within the art world. He eventually studied art in Paris at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts. His subjects have been almost exclusively European street scenes. That an artist can concentrate so masterfully on one theme is enticing and his renderings have brought great appeal and success. Currently, Thomas Pike resides and has studios in both Paris and southern Florida. With his work in private collections around the world, original paintings by Thomas Pike can be found in galleries nationwide.
