Tyler Watson is an English artist with a style influenced by British and American Pop Art of the 60's. He develops compositions in which everyday objects, those that normally go unnoticed, take center stage.
His works are always vibrant and loaded with a strong symbolism. Among them we can find from simple still-lifes to colourful interiors that show disturbing plays of light, through funny scenes in the purest advertising poster style.
‘In my practice I reimagine the most domestic and mundane of objects as if they were held in higher esteem. This has become a commentary on the often overlooked importance of everyday life. The somewhat disjointed nature between the paint, the image and myself, becomes apparent as I tend to subtract my own emotion from the painting, leaving the image to speak its own truth.’ T.W.
