Scott Dykema

Moonlit Travel, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Part of artist Scott Dykema's series of the majestic bison. Mist clears in the dead of the night as an eye emerges from within wisps of bright vivid clouds. In the foreground, the bison wears an intricate patterned cloak and glances at the viewer. It makes its way down a path of glimmering gold and green pasture while birds fly beneath the stars surrounding the omniscient eye. "The eye that sees all and knows all. A source of wisdom. A guiding force."

About the Artist
Scott works out of a 1947 Chevrolet school bus that is parked permanently in his Texas backyard. His highly expressionistic, figurative work is reminiscent of contemporary street art, largely due to the inclusion of spray paint in his arsenal of media. Scott is inspired by images he comes across in books or in daily life. His bold statement pieces demonstrate artful yet fanciful interpretations of world cultures. Each painting, through its dynamic layers of color and metallics, presents a story that awaits the imaginative viewer.
