Studio Sale | Tyler Watson

Tyler Watson is a British artist best described as a Post Pop Figurative Painter, he focuses on the ‘everyday’, through the themes of ‘interior as landscape’ and ‘nostalgia’.

The painting Corned Beef was created early into Watson's step into New Pop, focusing on expressing conceptual themes through the delivery used by Pop Artists of the past.

In his practice he reimagines 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 the artist, become apparent as he tends to subtract his own emotion from the painting, leaving the image to speak its own truth and remain more ambiguous. 

In recent years he has begun to reflect more deeply on the details of his everyday surroundings. The mundane became a symbol of daily ritual. A symbol he was then drawn to incorporate in his artwork as a glimpse of his everyday life as an artist.
