Artwork

"This bird was painted as a part of a series after a huge catastrophic freeze in Texas," shares artist Scott Dykema. He depicts a thoughtful portrait of a bluejay perched on a golden slate melting under candles. "The power grid almost shut down. Many went without power for days during the coldest days in Texas history. However, even though many were inside trying to survive, the animals outside were doing the same. The days after the freeze were filled with so much gratitude and appreciation. Seeing the birds alive was just mind-blowing icing on the cake."

Scott Dykema

Arlington, Texas

Artist Scott Dykema creates colorful mixed-media figurative works, reminiscent of contemporary street art. This is largely due to the inclusion of spray paint in his arsenal of tools. “There is an extreme love in putting something down onto a blank surface, committing to giving it new life and finishing it,” says Scott. His work comes from the constant desire to simply create. Drawing inspiration from the hues of the sky, books, images online, or even spots on the floor. Scott first started out studying nutrition and dietetics but veered into his ingenious creative side by the influence of an art teacher. He demonstrates fanciful interpretations of cultures through multiple layers, and oftentimes metallic elements. In each piece, he presents a story that awaits the imaginative viewer. Scott’s studio is a charming 1947 Chevy school bus parked permanently in his Texas backyard.

I love the modern, energetic, color saturated twist Scott breathes into his otherwise mythological status portraits and themes. For me, Portion Control's subtraction of form added to the subject's mystery and further drew me into the knowing, alluring Mediterranean blue of the woman's eyes. It is as if she has a secret to tell, and I, captivated, stand in silence waiting to hear it. The golden glow around her adds depth and substance, catching the light of my home from all angles. I am enraptured with this painting and will treasure it for decades to come.

Hi Scott, I came across your work while browsing the art on this website, and keep coming back to stare at your New Day Geisha. On a public servants salary, it's out of my range, but I just wanted to pass along to you that I think it's beautiful. I hope it finds a great home, and I'll keep checking back in hopes of treating myself in the future. Cheers!

Scott Dykema 2/17/2015 | 5:46 AM

In addition to a fine art painter, I am also a children's book illustrator. My most recent work is featured in a book called Keep Dreaming. You can see it here: www.newdreamstudio.com. My art continues to evolve, grow and expand and I love creating it!
