To say Jamaica is a talented Country is an understatement. The Island boasts some of the most creative minds, with skillsets that have rivaled many the world over, and influenced generations. From Music, to Fashion, to Food, to Art, it’s never normal when it comes to Jamaicans. When it comes to Art, Jamaica has produced some very special individuals. From Cecil Baugh, to Edna Manley, to Albert Huie, to Richard Natoo, to Margaret Chin, to Taj Francis, to Bonito Thompson, the world has been treated to excellent work from individuals like them over the years.
Jevaughn Gray is another name that has been creating waves with his work. Working under the moniker “Graytness” and through his “Grayt Art” brand, he has made eye-catching pieces, and turned many into physical products for many to wear, to show off in various ways, and to admire. He has done work that has been recognized by Dream Entertainment, Red Stripe, the Afro Soca event series, the Rum Punch Brunch in Atlanta, Clarks, and Recording Artists Zamunda, Irie Souljah, Rytikal, Heavyweight Rockaz, and US Rapper Future. Recently, he announced that he will be releasing a new piece titled, “The Future Of Jamaica“, that taps into the usage of modern technology.
The new “The Future Of Jamaica” piece by Grayt Art is a re-imagined look into a futuristic Jamaican society conjured by Jevaughn Gray a.k.a. “Graytness”. Gray uses Augmented Reality (A.R.) technology for his creation, allowing owners of the piece with the assistance of an App, to see it move from a static piece of Art, into an animated visual. “The Future Of Jamaica” is Gray’s second piece to utilize the technology, and was originally composed as an entry for a competition that didn’t see the light of day. Having sold his pieces for personal and commercial use, he looks to make his newest work a limited run of prints for purchase. Individuals who are interested in owning “The Future Of Jamaica” will be able to secure their copy of 1 of 5 signed and framed Augmented Reality-laced prints in the coming days.
