Pete Fecteau, artist behind the impressive 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes image of Dr. Martin Luther King entitled “Dream Big,” announced he will create 8,000+ cube mosaic. The new 8,484-cube mosaic will be titled “Gray Matters” and will portray Albert Einstein, using Fecteau’s analogous color palette. The new mosaic will measure 37’ by 7’8”.

Fecteau’s first Rubik’s Cube mosaic “Dream Big” – unveiled in 2010 – caused buzz in the art world and quickly garnered interned fame with more than 30 millions views. “Gray Matters” is set to unveil at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Mich. in late September. Following the ArtPrize the mosaic will tour the United States. “Gray Matters” is exactly twice as large as “Dream Big” and uses only five of the six colors found on Rubik’s Cube: Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, and White.

“It’s really exciting to be able to do another big mosaic. ‘Dream Big’ was such a surreal and humbling experience I couldn’t resist trying another one. This time I’ve been working with You Can Do The Rubik’s Cube and Seven Towns [which owns the Rubik’s Cube trademark] and it’s been a lot easier to plan. It gives me the chance to focus on the art and have more fun creating ‘Gray Matters.’” said Fecteau.

Currently, Fecteau is still in the development process and is looking for funding to complete the mosaic. He has created a Kickstarter campaign – a crowd-funding website – to help fundraise the additional $30,000 that he needs to complete the mosaic. Donors to “Gray Matters” will receive rewards such as postcard sets, limited editions screen-printed posters or special drawing journals.
