PETER LIK IS SOUGHT BY
COLLECTORS AROUND THE WORLD.
WE HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT THE LIK
FINE ART GALLERY TO LEARN ABOUT
THE ARTIST AND HIS MESMERIZING
PICTURES.
I'M HERE WITH THE ART DIRECTOR,
STEVEN MAIER AND NAPUA BORSA, AN
ART CONSULTANT.
HELLO.
ABOUT TEN YEARS?
, JO THANK YOU.
WE JUST PASSED THE TEN-YEAR
MARK.
WE'VE BEEN SERVING COMMUNITY
THAT LONG.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
NEXT TEN YEARS.
PETE HAS CREATED A RUGGED,
ELEGANT AESTHETICS THAT BRINGS
THE OUTDOORS IN DOORS.
WE'VE WORKED WITH PRINCES,
PRESIDENTS.
WE HAVE A HUGE FOLLOWING WITH
THE MILITARY FOLKS IN HAWAI'I.
THEY LOVE HIS WORK.
AND THEY LOVE THE FACT THAT HE
DOES THINGS WITH PERFECTION SO
THEY CAN REUSE THE PACKAGING.
LIK CREATED ONE OF THE FINEST
ALARY.
WE WERE VOTED THE BEST GALLERY
FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE
FAMILIAR, TELL US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE MAN.
WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND THE
GALLERY, YOU SEE PICTURE FROM
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
OH, MY GOSH, TRINI.
PETER LIK HAS A LOVE AFFAIR AND
PASSION WITH MOTHER NATURE.
HE CAPTURES THE MOMENT.
NO OTHER PHOTOGRAPH CAN REACH
WHAT HE HAS CAPTURE.
SO MANY COME IN AND SAY, HOW DID
HE GET THAT?
I GO TO THESE PLACES AND THEY
DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT.
NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE A GIFT,
HE'S GOT A PORTFOLIO THAT
EXPANDS 30 YEARS.
HE'S NOT JUST GOT A GREAT PORT
COAST.
HE HAS THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
AWARDS.
HE'S THE YOUNGEST TO GET IT.
HE HAS DEFINED THIS MEDIUM AND
POPULARIZED IT LIKE NO ONE ELSE
HAS.
HE USES GUYS THAT ARE TOP OF THE
CLASS IN THIS FIELD.
TRINI: I WALK AROUND AND GET
CHICKEN SKIN LOOKING AT THE
IMAGES.
YOU'VE GOT NICE LOCAL IMAGES BUT
YOU SEE IMAGES FROM ALL AROUND
THE WORLD.
NAPUA, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE
CAPTURES THAT YOURSELF.
HE'S GOT SUCH AN EYE.
YOU WALK IN HERE, THE WHOLE
EXPERIENCE OF THE GALLERY.
I WAS GREETED WITH THE BEAUTIFUL
LEI.
PETER LIK WANTS PEOPLE TO
HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
WHETHER THEY ACQUIRE THE ART OR
DON'T.
REALLYINGREALLY CONNECTING WITH NATURE
AND ART.
TO TAKE A PHOTO AND TAKE IT INTO
FINE ART, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE
REALLY APPRECIATE HOW MUCH GOES
INTO IT.
AT THE HAS A STATE OF THE ART
STUDIO THAT IS THE ENVY OF
ANYBODY WHO HAS DONE THIS.
HE'S SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH
PEOPLE WHO'S DONE THIS A LONG
TIME.
FROM THE CAPTURE OF THE SHOT TO
THE DELIVERY IS ALL IN-HOUSE.
AND EVERYTHING IS DONE TO
PERFECTION.
PETER LIK IS A PERFECTIONIST.
TRINI: YOU CAN'T HELP BUT BE
IMPRESSED WITH THE SIZE.
IMAGES.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A
STATEMENT PIECE, YOU CAN FIND IT
HERE.
ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT
HIS COLLECTION IS IF THERE ARE
FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT SIZE
OPTIONS INCLUDING THE EPICS
WHICH ARE MIND BOG BOGGLING.
THEY'RE AS BIG AS THEY ARE
SMALL.
ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO ADD
IS WE HAVE THE BEST ART
CONSULTANTS IN THIS BUSINESS.
AND THEY UNDERSTAND, THEY STUDY
THE COLLECTION AND CURATE THE
COLLECT.
THEY CAN PUT IT IN CONTEXT.
AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT HELP
CONNECT PEOPLE TO THE ART.
TRINI: IT'S WONDERFUL THAT
YOU CAN WALK IN HERE AND KNOW
THAT SOMEONE KNOWS ABOUT THE
COLLECTION.
THEY REALLY KNOW ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU.
IT'S A CRITICAL PART OF WHAT WE
DO.
TRINI: THIS IS ONE OF TWO
LOCATIONS IN HAWAI'I.
THE OTHER IS ON MAUI.
THANK YOU.
THE ONE ON MAUI IS THE FLAGSHIP
GALLERY ON FRONT STREET ON MAUI.
PEOPLE ARE REALLY PLEASED WHEN
THEY COME HERE.
THEY'VE SEEN THE GALLERY ON MAUI
AND THEY ALREADY KNOW THE
COLLECTION.
