Surreal Animal Hybrid Art (UPDATE)

Scott Marr Uses Natural Pigments to Create Bizarre Creatures

— June 10, 2012 — Art & Design
Scott Marr is an Australia-based artist whose work is composed of natural pigments extracted from flowers, berries and leaves. The process is fitting considering that Marr's artwork appears to be a mixture of natural and synthetic elements.

The illustrations often feature animals whose bodies are inter-spliced with an abundance of random objects. Some of the paintings look to be real time versions of the critters found in Dr. Seuss stories.

The juxtaposition between animal and manmade creates an interesting array of what could be extremely eccentric wall pieces. Any sense of the natural is completely lost, as the imposing elements detract from the animal's original form. Looking at Scott Marr's artwork one would be hard pressed to distinguish between the living and the on display.
Trend Themes
1. Natural Pigment Art - Using natural pigments in art, rather than synthetic ones, can create a distinct and eco-friendly art style that appeals to environmentally conscious consumers.
2. Animal Hybrid Creations - Artists who create surreal animal hybrid art offer the potential for new forms of entertainment and storytelling, as well as opportunities for unique home decor and fashion designs.
3. Juxtaposition of Natural and Manmade Elements - Combining natural and manmade elements in art and design creates a striking visual contrast that could be applied to a variety of industries, such as fashion, interior design, and advertising.
Industry Implications
1. Art - Artists and art enthusiasts can incorporate natural pigments and elements to create unique and eco-friendly pieces that appeal to a growing market of environmentally conscious consumers.
2. Entertainment - Surreal animal hybrid creations offer a new form of entertainment and storytelling through movies, TV shows, and video games, presenting opportunities for production companies to capitalize on this trend.
3. Fashion - The combination of natural and manmade elements in Scott Marr's artwork creates a unique fashion statement, inspiring fashion designers to incorporate these elements into their garments and accessories.
