ABOUT Luke @Lucid
As a child I loved colour, especially red and fluoro pink! My colour addiction has continued so strong in life to become a pigment and colourant manufacturer.
It all started when moving to Sydney
at 6 with my parents from Poland and
Sicily, they were mechanics and they
started an engine repair shop in 'The
Sydney'. I would break open the half dead car batteries at the garage to take out the lead plates from the acid with pliers. Yes sometimes burning my hands.
This is where a childhood obsession started, mixing acid with copper wire, coins from cars or even chrome badges from junk cars. Putting these mixtures into empty pickle jars and watching
these co-ordinate metal complexes and coloured crystals grow and change. With a collection of colour filled jars, I turned the old out dated 'outback dunny' at the garage into my miniature Colour Lab!
After eating a lot of pickles, I read about
nitration and electro-plating. This led to chroming my friends BMX bikes, and candy dipping my colours over the other chrome parts, peddles, rims, and bars.
These experiments went on and led to
making explosives from the same acid
and metals as a 'free radical' teenager. .
After university I was contracted to the
Australian Federal Police (AFP) bomb squad, where my technical knowledge was innovative, but my love of colour
chemistry is and will be my objective.
Returning back to reacting chemicals
into colourful pigments in New York, the place of emerging artists that would
bring me a 1000 pennies to convert into
copper blue pigments. Just $10 bucks
would get an artist many pounds of color. I also worked directly with many world renown artists making custom pigments.
Not giving up my Polish and Australian
passports, I moved back to Sydney and continued making very rare and unique colours for artists, crafters, makers, plus many other colour industries. Also continuing those complex chemical reactions to feed my own colour addiction, dedication, and dangerous discovery for new colours to complete
my childhood experiments and dreams
to find every possible colour in the world.
