LIK SOHO – Peter Lik Fine Art Photography

Walking around Soho, i stumbled onto Peter Lik’s gallery, and was immediately drawn in. There was a photo of a tree in the window, and another one immediately upon entering. Nothing like i had ever seen before. The details, the colors, the size!!! Just Amazing.
I could have spent the whole day there, just looking at his work.
Gallery is a nice size, an they do a great job showcasing his work. I wish i could get a better grasp of how he actually works. There is a photograph of the night sky, with a tree in the middle of it that is great. Another favorite is the three panel photo of the empire state building, looking south.
If you are in the area, or love photography, it is definitely worth a visit.

This is some of the finest photography EVER… ANYWHERE. Peter Lik has galleries in a lot of cities. I’ve seen his Vegas store, Beverly Hills, and now Soho. Some of the photographs change to suit the area, but he has a core group of photos that are in all the stores. Regardless, his work is exquisite, and talk about color… oh so bright, vivid and beautiful. He photographs places ’round the world, and his ability to create a very unique blend of color and light truly goes unequalled. Have one of the sales associates show you how lighting alters the look and feel of his photographs. Truly mesmerizing. As much as I want to take pictures with my amateur camera of his professional ones for the purpose of putting on Unilocal,well, there is NO way I could ever do that… it kind of defeats the whole copyright thing, amongst other issues. Even I understand that one. If you have never been to one of his galleries, you simply must. Even if you go with only the intention of looking, the price is right for that, TOTALLY FREE, and you will be amazed, and you will want to buy something. They are perfection.

I truly love Photography and am putting a lot of thought into starting to venture into some photography work as well.
When admiring Peter Lik’s work, it’s like viewing someone else’s view of the world and what’s not to love about that? I enjoy seeing the world through someone else and seeing beauty where I may not naturally see it. He mainly focuses on landscapes and architecture from around the world. His gallery is breathtaking and I had a good experience with the ladies working here including some in depth conversations about the artist himself and information about his style of photography.
If I had extra income to spend on photographs like this I’m positive I would own a handful of his pieces, until that actually happens I will have to settle with admiring his fine photography in his gallery.
While in SOHO, do what locals do… stroll through all the galleries and pick your favorite pieces, and if you’re so inclined, make a purchase.

Cool store to walk around — pretty amazing pictures. I realize a few of the more negative reviews address trying to make a purchase, which I have NOT done — so 4 stars is really for the store setup and breadth of pictures they have on display… Definitely worth stopping in if in the neighborhood!

Wish I had never walked by (in a sad way) — here’s why:
I have been eying a photo in this gallery for almost a year, and I finally decided to make moves on a purchase. The Sentinel is this gorgeous shot on a foggy day in NYC. It is the perfect photograph. When I found out it would take $ 9K out of my bank account, I thought otherwise. Sorry man, but that’s simply too much for an image.
The staff were very friendly and professional, and the space was very clean. When I voiced my range of $ 100, they offered other photograph suggestions. However, this one shot is the only one I fancied. Since I’ve never seen a soul in the gallery, my assumption is that the artist must charge so much to pay for his empty SoHo location :/​
Still, this under-​the-​bridge photograph was quintessential New York, and I wish I could have made the purchase!

Some amazing photos on display in an unpretentious atmosphere makes this gallery a must see if you’re in the area. Some of the works are rotated out every few weeks so there is always something new to see.

A photographic wonderland that transports you into scenes that would normally take a Man vs. Wild journey to get to. The works are magnificent and the details seem explosive in magnitude in every nook of the gargantuan wide angled, panoramic shots. There is a saturation of color and light infused into every grain of ink that is extraordinary. Lik shows no commitment or creativity towards extravagant, yet starkly realistic, visual display is to be spared. Don’t miss!
