The images in the Rabbit Destruction Council series are so realistic, people will think that a parliament of owls has literally been snatched from the skies and dyed for artistic purposes. They wouldn't be the first. Artists Julian Charriere and Julius von Bismarck built a bird trap that automatically airbrushed pigeons different colors. But that isn't the case at all. These owls aren't even real. Instead, the Rabbit Destruction Council series is a set of drawings.
Created by John Pusateri, who currently teaches in the Department of Architecture at Unitec New Zealand, the Rabbit Destruction Council art series was created using a combination of pencils, charcoal and pastels. Each image captures an owl's character, from the look in its eyes to the tilt of its head.
What's Driving This Trend
- Rabbit Destruction Council Drawings
- There is an opportunity for artists and designers to create hyper-realistic drawings that trick the viewer.
- Automated Art Processes
- There is a potential for automating art processes using technology like bird traps to airbrush animals or using drawing robots.
- Hyper-realistic Art
- There is an opportunity to create art that accurately portrays real-life objects or animals, making them hard to distinguish from reality.
Who This Affects Most
- Art and Design
- Artists and designers can use these trends to create innovative and realistic pieces for exhibitions and galleries.
- Technology and Robotics
- Technology companies can explore how to integrate automation in the art world by developing robotic arms that can accurately draw or paint.
- Education
- Educational institutions can incorporate these trends in their art curriculums, teaching students hyper-realistic drawing techniques and how to integrate technology in their art processes.
