Artist Comments
Displaying his own rendition of popular iconography, artist Scott Dykema shares a charming image of Batgirl. Part of his series of portraits of famous comic book heroes. He reinterprets the masked city protector in his distinct style integrating street art and graffiti. The bright pink outline creates a dynamic aura accentuating the subject against the beige background.

About the Artist
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.
