About Charles Wyatt Warren
Charles Wyatt Warren was born in 1908 in Caernarfon, Wales. Until the age of thirty-six he worked as as a civil servant at Caernarfonshire County Council and it was only in his spare time that he painted. As demand for his art grew Wyatt Warren began to paint frequently enough to sustain a full time career, achieving widespread commerical success throughout Wales and England, exhibiting at the likes of Albany Road Gallery in Cardiff.
Wyatt Warren mainly painted in oils in impasto (thickly layered) on to board. His paint is applied sharply and crisply often with a generous variety of colours. Usually his subject matter was the Snowdonia mountain range or the surrounding coast and villages which so many people hold dear. Often, he would paint a mountain range with one of the freshwater lakes in the foreground. Sometimes, with a bit of artistic license he would add silver birch trees and maybe even a whitewashed cottage for a bit of added romance. Rarely would there be a figure in his Snowdonia work, as it was all about the view. His signature was often applied boldly in red with a nice flourished style. This was Wyatt Warren’s brand. He was a prolific worker who knew what his customers wanted.
