Wyatt’s work is based on the philosophy of “spiritual realism.” ^[4] Stanley Wells, Shakespearian scholar and chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, says, ``I compare Wyatt to Rodin, Wells says. ``He's that good. ^[5] "Wyatt emulates the sculpture of the western world with contemporary vision." ^[6] "Wyatt is among the most celebrated sculptors working today. His works merge realistic images and abstract masses of form, space and energy and have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Harvard University, among other institutions and collections. ^[7]
