- Greg Wyatt is an American representational sculptor who works primarily in cast bronze, and is the sculptor-in-residence at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York City. Wyatt was born in Nyack, New York and raised in Grand View-on-Hudson, New York. His father was William Stanley Wyatt, a painter and professor of fine arts at Columbia University, Rockland Community College and the City College of New York. Greg Wyatt graduated from Columbia College of Columbia University in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History. He also attended the National Academy of Design for three years, where he studied figurative sculpture, and received his certificate in sculpture, and earned a master's degree in Ceramic Arts from Columbia Teachers College in 1974. Wyatt has taught at New York University and at Jersey City State College. He is currently a member of the Board of Directors at The American College of the Mediterranean in Aix-en-Provence, France. He is also a member of the Board at Brookgreen Gardens. Wyatt bases his work on the philosophy of "spiritual realism," merging realistic images and abstract masses of form, space and energy. Professor Sir Stanley Wells, a renowned Shakespearian scholar and emeritus chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, says, "I compare Wyatt to Rodin. He's that good." "Wyatt emulates the sculpture of the western world with contemporary vision." His works have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Harvard University, and Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, among other institutions and collections, and can be seen in more than 20 public spaces in cities from New York to Beijing. Wyatt has made many corporate commissions, including a bronze statue of J.C. Penney founder James Penney which weighs 3 tons and cost $250,000. (en)
