'Automat, 1927' In The Style of Edward Hopper

Modelled after Edward Hopper's wife, this absolutely beautiful hand-embellished stretched canvas by John Myatt captures the dramatic contrasts and cool atmosphere of Hopper's famous 1927 artwork 'Automat'. The iconic artwork was displayed at Hopper's second solo show in New York and became one of the most crucial works of 20th century realism. Here, its bright contrasts and bold simplicity have been captured by internationally renowned artist and forger John Myatt.

As production continues on his own film biopic that sets to capture the incredible life and career of the world-famous art forger, here John has turned to one of his own favourite artists. The work of American realist Edward Hopper, as John describes, captures a deeper understanding of life in an urban and industrial society. Using bold contrasts and geometrically designed compositions, John has not only captured the gorgeous modern aesthetics of his work but, also the dramatic narratives that speak of isolation, familiarity and cityscapes.
