BIOGRAPHY |
Greg Wyatt, upon the completion of his Bachelor of Arts degree in art history at Columbia College in 1971, studied classical sculpture for three years at the National Academy of Design’s School of Fine Arts under sculptor Evangelos Frudakis, N.A. He earned his M.A. degree at Columbia University, Teachers College in ceramic arts in 1974, Ed.D. (candidate), completed his doctoral coursework in art education in 1976.
Greg Wyatt is a native of Grand View-on-Hudson, New York, located south of Nyack, home of Edward Hopper. Mr. Wyatt was nurtured in the artistic tradition of his native Hudson River Valley at an early age by his father, William Stanley Wyatt, painter and fine arts professor at Columbia University and the City College of the City University of New York.
Cast bronze is his primary medium of artistic expression. Dr. Anthony Janson, editor of W.H. Janson's History of Art, has stated that Mr. Wyatt's work is based on the philosophy of "spiritual realism." His mature style merges realistic images inspired by his readings of the Great Books content with creative masses of form, space and energy. His lyricism evokes poetry while his work process is very attentive to craftsmanship and the fine details of cast bronze. |
