Overview
To coincide with the release of his new book published by Oxford University Press, Steve Pyke presents a selection of intimate black and white portraits in an exhibition titled Philosophers. Pyke has garnered acclaim for his captivating photographs of individuals from diverse backgrounds, ranging from the homeless to artists and intellectuals.
Through the stark detail of his portraits Pyke is able to erase the lofty reputation that is often placed on philosophers who ponder life's seemingly unanswerable questions. He captures the humanity and personality of these men and women in an astounding way, enabling their presence to be experienced and appreciated. The portraits will include Tim Williamson, Richard Rorty, Judith Thomson, David Chalmers and Delia Graff, among others.
