BLVD Gallery presents
Hard Light
New works by Robert Hardgrave and Warren Dykeman
November 10 – December 2, 2006
Artist Reception Friday November 10 6pm - 10pm
BLVD Gallery 2316 2nd ave Seattle Wa 98121

BLVD Gallery is proud to present “Hard Light”, an exhibition of new
works by Robert Hardgrave and Warren Dykeman, two of the most
impressive talents to emerge from the Seattle urban contemporary arts
movement. Both of these artists have worked with the prestigious Los
Angeles gallery BLK/MRKT, Warren Dykeman was included in the genre
defining BM01 group show and subsequent book in January 2006 and Robert
Hardgrave with a very successful show there this past July. These two
artists are a testament to the diverse and unique range of talents that
have emerged in the past few years here in Seattle that are gaining
recognition nationally.
Robert Hardgraves current work deals with death in an positive
light. They are ideas about reincarnation and life beyond death, often
reflecting about the cadaveric donor and the life he lead on borrowed
time. Roberts work has been informed by his own health issues, in 2003
he received a new kidney from a cadaveric donor which soon after
developed Lymphoma due to medication complications. Discovering six
months of chemotherapy were necessary, he decided that if he was able
to plow through this obstacle, he would treat himself to making art
full time. In November of 2003, Robert was considered in remission and
today he is living the life disease awakened. Regarding his work Robert
quotes Carl Jung, “As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human
existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
A fascination with merging industrial textures, illustration, street
art and commercial art compels Warren Dykeman to paint. An avid
cyclist, His paintings and drawings are combinations of imagery culled
from his rides through trainyards, hand sign lettering seen on the
road, his sketch books and snippets of conversations heard in passing.
Warrens recent work incorporates a kind of coded visual language
reminiscent of the “Hobo” art that is seen on the sides of boxcars, a
language that was developed to communicate locations or situations that
could either harm or benefit other rail enthusiasts in plain view.
Warren Dykemnan received a BFA from Western Washington University with
an emphasis on painting and graphic art and is a full-time Graphic
Artist in downtown Seattle.

Retrorama @ Roq la Rue
Roq la Rue Gallery
Presents
“Retrorama!”
New works by Mark Frauenfelder
Wednesday Kirwan
Chris Reccardi
Lynne Nailor
And Johnny Yanok
Opens November 10th 2006 6-9pm
music by DJ Vodka Twist!
Show runs through Dec 1st.
Roq La Rue is very pleased to present a show of work by artists who are influenced by retro animation and design, yet put their own unique spin on it, creating vibrant, playful work.
?Mark Frauenfelder unveils a new series of effervencent paintings done in a storybook style mixed with a dash of children’s manga and secret arcane symbolism. Known mainly for his writing and the founding of his uber-popular blog (and former zine) Boing Boing as well as being the editor of Make magazine, Mark is also an accomplished illustrator. This is his first gallery exhibit.
Wednesday Kirwan creates gouache paintings that evoke fairytale themes. For this exhibit she has created a series of paintings depicting mermaid type creatures, as alluringly sweet and strangely eerie as her subject matter has been described to be.
Lynne Nailor and partner Chris Reccardi both come from the animation industry. Lynne designing for “Ren and Stimpy”, “Samurai Jack”,” and “Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!”. Her paintings usually features angular yet voluptuous pin up style gals done in a Barbarella meets Beatnik aesthetic.
Chris Reccardi also hails from “Ren and Stimpy” ?(as a storyboard artist, animator, writer, director, and composer and performer of the show’s opening theme music!) as apprenticing under such legends as Ralph Bakshi and John Kricfalusi.He also worked on “Powerpuff Girls”, “Samurai Jack”, and Rob Zombie’s upcoming “Haunted World of El Superbeasto.” His work is similar to Lynne’s, mixing a jazzy mod look with retro sci fi style.
?Both Lynne and Chris have been working on co-producing and directing their original pilot for Nickelodeon, “The Modifyers”, due for completion in January 2007, but were ready to drop some fantastic paintings off for their Roq la Rue exhibit.
Johnny Yanok mixes current pop culture ?with a 60’s Little Golden Book type style. His painting usually are narrative and humorous and feature an array of characters in each piece.
