“The first cigarette in the morning and the last ciggy of the day. This habit has somewhat become the bookend of my day as if I’m starting the day as I plan to end it. Making work around cigarette advertisements only feels correct in a sense as my work focuses so highly on how small human habits become symbols of daily rituals.”

ARTIST BIO
TYLER WATSON

Tyler Watson is a British post pop figurative artist with a degree in Fine Art from Middlesex University and MA in Fine Art from The University of Hertfordshire. Influenced by British and American 1960s Pop art movement, Tyler’s distinctive paintings have attracted the attention of the iconic department store Liberty London where they are featured and collaborations with well-known brands such as Paul Smith.

Taking inspiration from the everyday life, Tyler reimagines the most domestic and mundane of objects to draw attention to them and allow us to rediscover these objects in a new light. By consciously removing his own emotions from his work and using bright colours to catch the attention of the viewer, Tyler leaves the subject matter to speak its own truth.

“In recent years, I have begun to reflect more deeply on the details of my everyday surroundings. The mundane became a symbol of daily ritual, a glimpse of my daily life as an artist.”

Challenging traditional views on what is considered as subject matter, Tyler’s work is a direct response to rediscovering his own environment and the elements within it. In doing so, Tyler’s practice encourages us to pay more attention to what lies in front of us reflecting on the importance of everyday life and our tendency to overlook the mundane.
