Artists
Alex Paik
Alex Paik is an artist who lives and works in Philadelphia. He is also a founding member and acting director of Tiger Strikes Asteroid, an artist-run exhibition space in Philadelphia.
“My work lies somewhere between a painting, a toy, and a song. I guess you could call them visual toy songs, but that would sound really lame. I’m not really a formalist in the sense that I agree with the Platonic undertones or the inherent Modernist dogma associated with it, but more like the 5 year old son of a formalist who is inventing a sandbox formalism – a formalism that is more interested in problem solving and invention rather than answer-giving or unified systems of thought. It’s not that I’m not serious about making art but I just think that artists seem to take themselves and their pseudo-philosophical ideas way too seriously. Besides, what’s more serious than a kid playing with his toys? Maybe if Ellsworth Kelly, Paul Klee, Thomas Nozkowski, and Richard Tuttle were the Lost Boys on Never Land and grew up on video games, classical music, and indie pop, this is what they would make. Or maybe they would focus on fighting pirates?”
