The Karen Johnson Wyatt Collection
THE EXISTING WORK OF KAREN JOHNSON WYATT, SHOWROOM COMING TO BALTIMORE, MD EARLY 2018
Collectors of original paintings include Earl Monroe, Harold Orr, Yvonne West, Willard Wright, Gloria Greene, Muriel Roberts & more.
OIL ON CANVAS
Wyatt specializes in painting historical, jazz, and African scenes & personalities in oil on large size gallery wrap canvas (30" x 40" and up). Her unique approach to painting involves tearing off 2 inch square canvas pieces to use in place of brushes. She describes her first art style as an integration of impressionism & realism.
ACRYLIC ON LINEN
Wyatt's signature style is her work on 100% linen tapestry using acrylic paint. She introduced this style in 1985 at the Monterey Jazz Festival with her notable piece of Miles Davis.
WYATT'S BRUSHES
This innovative style of Wyatt's was born as a result of her unique painting style when using oil on canvas. The pieces of canvas Wyatt has used to paint recent pieces are compiled and individually stitched to a cloth to form a collage of "Wyatt's Brushes".
WYATT GONE GREEN
Wyatt's creativity has brought her to see art in arbitrary places. As a testament to her vision for new potential within her own work Wyatt began using recycled materials in her home to create abstract pieces of expression. Each piece is made of different materials ranging from window blinds to ripped jean fabric. Wyatt has the gift of envisioning art where many see items to be discarded.
