Pyke Koch


While not as well known as some of the German "magic realists" Pyke Koch made some
very odd and compelling images. When travelling through Europe in 1984 I made a sketch of
Pyke Koch's painting of a chimney sweep (the only 20th century painting that I bothered to sketch
on that trip). A few years later when I found a reproduction of this painting in a book I was taken
by how similar the work I was doing was to this painting.
