Hi, I'm British artist, Drew Tatt. I use a wide range of different mediums in my work, from the more traditional Oil, and Acrylic Paints, right through the spectrum to New, and Mixed Media, Photograph, and Digital Art. My work has a formal element to it but also contains subtle vernaculars drawn from a contemporary, and wider retro, Popular Culture. I take my inspiration from the Pop Art of the Sixties, focusing on, Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, and Sigmar Polke, Italian Transavantgardism, and Magic Realism. My work often ventures into anti-realism, with strong elements of artifice, borrowing from, amonst other things, the television, especially t.v. programs done-on-the-cheap, as they say. I just love those plastic sets, wonky props, and bad actors. The Sixties is a good example of aesthetic artifice: all those puppet shows, Roberta Leigh's "Space Patrol," early Dr Who, and mega on Surrealist vision, "The Avengers." The need to escape: my work is fundamentally escapist. I believe escapism has become an issue of survival in our modern towns and cities.
