Andrew Wyatt - New Artworks

2025 ArtWorks Open prizewinner show. Andrew was selected for the prize by artists Tam Joseph and Keith Piper. About I enjoy telling a story through my pictures. Sometimes it can become quite an obsessive process - I don't know when to stop! Photomontage has great power. I learnt this from the artists Hannah Höch, John Heartfield and Robert Rauschenberg. Picasso would walk along a short beach collecting driftwood and other materials which he incorporated into the assemblage he created that day. It's great when the choice is made for you. However with today's digital resources the beach is endless! Although I love an image within which one can dwell, those elements need to be appropriate to the tale-telling. I first made photomontages when I was at school, then developed new techniques at Art School including airbrush photography and painting by hand. For 15 years I created various commissioned works, including, by the late 90s, digital ones. In recent years I have gone back to more painting. I use photographs as reference, and exploring paint is a current fascination. Perhaps next I will try oils, that will be a new new day! Andrew Wyatt March 2026 Read more Toggle Painting
