Kendrick Daye; a street artist from Miami a.k.a. GREATeclectic blends the most abstractly familiar elements of life – love, envy, wealth, wrath, perception, desire, greed, necessity, lust, identity, indulgence, ideals, ego, morals, said bankruptcy, and fears – with the rawest veneer of famous faces. His pieces are pastiches – whole in-and-of themselves but even more so in context of one another. Pop & Politics are alive and well-contented bedfellows in this world. The personal space stands as the preeminent public place of judgment. Shadows dance in rigid rhythmic formation with neon strobes. The entire world coalesces into a kaleidoscopic cultural landscape… where we are presented with our own selves from before the mass-mediated mirror of Pop life.
His art lives, loves, laughs, lauds, lambastes, legislates, and promulgates on behalf of true Pop. It unravels the American tapestry because we were wound too tightly. It dims the lights because they blind so brightly. Additionally, it hearkens to the dawn though it heralds nightly. And all it takes is a liberated lid to refresh the mind and see what I see: if you want to see a sad boy shine – pay him; if you want to see a sad boy smile – pay attention.

Understanding Mixed Media: The Harmonious Chaos
Ever wondered about the ingredients that go into making such a lavish visual feast? It’s time to unwrap the intriguing concept of mixed media art.
In a nutshell, mixed media art refers to any piece of art that combines different materials or mediums. Here’s the exciting part – there are no rules! A mixed media artwork could be a collage incorporating magazine cutouts, acrylic paint, and charcoal. It could be a sculpture made from metal, glass, and found objects. The options are endless, making it an incredibly versatile and freeing form of art.
The allure of mixed media art lies in its unrestrained creativity. An artist is not bound by the limitations of any single medium. Instead, they can explore and experiment, layering different elements to create depth and texture. This is especially visible in GREATeclectic’s pieces. There’s a certain rhythm to the chaos – an editorial balance that belies the eclectic mix of elements.
Looking to the digital age, mixed media art has also found its way into the world of online printing services. Artists can now share and sell their artwork far and wide, reaching a larger audience than ever before. In fact, you might have stumbled upon GREATeclectic’s captivating art online.
