Onu Öldür, Beni Güldür / Ali Elmacı
“Onu Öldür, Beni Güldür” sergisindeki fantastik sahnelerde, bal yapan eşek arılarına, abaküse takılmış kurukafalara, bağırsak şeklindeki sarıklara ve gözünü izleyiciye dikmiş huzursuz çocuklara rastlıyoruz. Çekici olanla iticiyi, samimi olanla tehditkarı, doğalla yapayı, kutsalla kitsch'i bir arada seyrederken hangisine inanacağımızı şaşırıyoruz.

Who? Kendrick Daye

Kendrick Daye 4

I convey and connect with the world and the one individual alike, because I am my work; and as with any masterpiece, that connection lives in the unconventional void – where authenticity cannot be barred by limitation, and catharsis cannot be marred by sterile sanity. I lives in my work – it is in that shared space where I feel, and it is in that shared experience where life is present.

As an artist: I blend 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. My pieces are pastiches – whole in­and­of themselves but even more so in context of one another. Pop & Politics are alive and well­contented 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 mass­mediated mirror of Pop life.

My work is arduous. It is bright. It is delusional. It is hidden in prismatic view. It is seeing roses through Reagan­colored sunglasses. It is waking up to the first Pink Friday after Sunday mourning. It is the scene sweet­tooth before and beneath the staid urban decay. It is everything in one place, in distorted focus, for no other reason than for you to see it; because we’ve been blinded by the guided light, because we need to throw shade if only to stargaze again.

My 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; 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.
