Artist Statement -



In my work as a fine artist, I use the mediums of graphite, coloured pencil and oil, in the styles realism, photo-realism, trompe l'oeil and portraiture, Ideas come from literature, metaphors, and the real world.

Rather than the imitation of appearance, my concern is with the essence of the subject. In trompe l'oeil, it is the hardness and softness of guns and lingerie, which, when mounted in shadow boxes, become real.

In the series, 'Dante's Divine Comedy', executed in graphite, the object was to depict the universality of his ideas as they appear today.

In all of my work, realism is my focus and goal.

Yukon News 2001 Chocolate Claim, Whitehorse, exhibit 'Objects' 'Artist shows it like it is' ...you might think the objects are real...you wouldn't be the first viewer to be taken in by Hyatt's skill.

Yukon News 2002 Yukon Arts Centre, Whitehorse, exhibit 'Dante's Divine Comedy' 'Artist beaufifully illustrates trek through hell' ....there is a removed, almost peaceful quality to many of the pieces...meticulous detail, and attention to light. ...
