Dana Blume is a Seattle-based painter, born in 1993, with a BFA in drawing and painting from California State University Long Beach and an MFA from the University of Washington. His work has been exhibited across the United States, England, Italy, and Singapore. His commission in RailSpur Alley captures the speed, dynamism, and symbolism of soccer rather than offering a literal depiction. Through bold color, playful characterization, and expressive mark-making, the painting reads as an uninhibited celebration of the game. Bodies, ball, and pitch collapse into the kinetic feeling of motion itself.
