Jimmy Pike (c1940-2002) was a Walmatjarri Aboriginal artist.

Life

Born east of Japingka, an important jila or permanent waterhole in the Great Sandy Desert, he grew up as a hunter-gatherer. Like many of his people he drifted north toward the river valleys and the sheep and cattle stations where food was more plentiful. Living as a fringe-dweller around Cherrabun Station he eventually joined relatives at the station camp and worked as a stockman.[1] He was named Jimmy Pike, after Phar Lap's jockey, by a cattle station manager.[2]

Pike learned to use western art materials while in Fremantle Prison.[2] Even before he was released from prison his work was exhibited in major Australian galleries.[3]

In 1989 Pike featured in a documenary The Quest of Jimmy Pike.[4]

He illustrated a book Jimmy and Pat meet the Queen with his wife Pat Lowe.[5] Pike has collaborated on a number of other books with his wife.

He held exhibitions in United Kingdom, Philippines, China, Namibia and Italy.[1] During an exhibition of his paintings in London in 1998, Pike and his wife Pat Lowe attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace.[3]

He held a joint exhibition with Zhou Xiaoping in the National Gallery of China, Beijing, called "Through the Eyes of Two Cultures".[6] He was the first Australian painter to show there.[3]

Pike died from a heart attack in 2002.[2][3]
