BLVD Gallery Presents
“Atomic Autobody – New Works by Warren Dykeman”
November 14 - December 6, 2008
Opening Reception Friday November 14 6p - 10p

BLVD Gallery proudly presents Atomic Autobody, an exhibition of new works by Seattle based painter Warren Dykeman. The artist returns to the gallery with a new body of work comprised of paintings and drawings that draw upon elements of folk art, handmade sign lettering, digital art, and collage. Utilizing a variety of materials, Warren creates work that contains an intriguing awkwardness which produces a rhythm between contour, color, and mistake. With a nod to the past, Warren embraces the new technology of the digital age combining his experience as a graphic designer to create compositions that use vector style graphics as a jump off for his unique take on primitive folk art styles.
Warren Dykeman grew up in the desert of eastern Washington in Kennewick, just outside of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Having lived under the shadow of America's atomic ambitions, Warrens work is informed by the Cold War era Americana that surrounded him in those formative years. The show's title, Atomic Autobody, references these early years when his father worked as an Auto Body Man at a shop with that name. Warren is featured in November on Art Zone In Studio with Nancy Guppy on the Seattle channel. Currently, Warren Dykeman is a graphic designer and lives in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle, WA.

BLVD Gallery is a new gallery devoted to the Urban Contemporary aesthetic and the rise of street art and graffiti culture, located in Seattle's hip Belltown neighborhood.
Noticing a lack of venues for Seattles vibrant urban art scene, gallerist Kirsten Anderson and curator Damion Hayes decided to join forces and create a full fledged gallery devoted to the burgeoning underground scene, and are dedicated to bringing national and international talent to the city as well as fostering the amazing local artists working within the genre.
Who I'd like to meet: Kirsten Anderson is the founder and owner of Roq La Rue Gallery, an internationally known gallery focusing on the Pop Surrealism/Lowbrow art movement. Roq la Rue is considered on of the top galleries in its genre by collectors and artists and has been profiled countless times in Juxtapoz magazine as well as other publications ranging from Japans Huge and Burnout to Conde Nast Traveller. In addition, the gallery has shown almost every Pop Surrealist art heavyweight since it opened its
doors in 1998, as well as helping launch careers of younger, emerging artists.
Anderson also compiled and edited the successful book Pop Surrealism with her book company Ignition Publishing. Pop Surrealism is the first survey of the Pop Surrealism/Lowbrow art movement and is currently in its 3rd printing.
Anderson also acts as a freelance curator, and curated the museum show Pop Surrealism in 2005 at the Sangre De Christo Art Center in Colorado, and occasionally will give lectures on underground art, and most recently lectured at Mark Rydens Wondertoonel exhibit at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle.
Damion Hayes is the Editor of the Artstash Blog as well as a founding member of Cut Kulture United, a Seattle based art collective established in 1998. With a stated mission to increase awareness and appreciation of the Urban/Street art and culture, Damion has been curating and producing art events since 1993 beginning with a loft viewing of a 16mm print of the Hip hop classic Style Wars in Atlanta, Ga. Damion has more recently curated Living Hybrids the visual arts component to the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy, as well as Beyond Fresh, The Urban Art Exhibition at the 2004 Bumbershoot, the Seattle Arts Festival. Damion Hayes brings to BLVD Gallery an understanding of the needs of the artists as well as an immense respect for the culture from which the Urban Art community is based.
