Ed Wyatt
As a native of New Mexico, with its breathtaking landscapes, illuminated by crystalline
and dramatic light, Ed Wyatt understands the enchantment of the Southwest. Born in
an area where the subject matter is truly unique, he joins an elite group of artists able
to capture the vibrant color and intriguing shadows of the mountains, mesas and ancient
rustic adobe structures.
Following successful careers as a photojournalist, television art director and
graphic designer, Ed turned his attention to portraying the dramatic, yet spiritual
quality of the landscapes and architecture of the Southwest in his serigraphs.
Serigraphy is a term describing the silkscreen process when used for fine art rather than
commercial purposes. It is the earliest recorded fine art print making technique,
having its roots in ancient China.
Unlike offset lithographs which are taken from an orignal piece of art, a serigraph is the
"original art". For this reason, there may be slight differences in each
piece of art, due to the handmade nature of the printing process, and blends of
color may vary somewhat from piece to piece.
Unlike many of the serigraphs on the market today, these original prints are produced and
hand-printed
by the artist in his studio on archival pH neutral paper. The serigraphs by Ed Wyatt
are produced in an edition, limited in number, as indicated in the pencil notation below
or on the image. The notation 1/55 means that this particular print is the first of
55 in the edition. By signing and numbering it, the artist is guaranteeing that
there will never be more than 55 original serigraph prints of this image. Edition
sizes may vary in number.
Represented by galleries nationwide, his work has been selected for major exhibitions, won
awards and is in private and corporate collections internationally.
