Intricately Inked Walls

This Wall Decal by Artist Joe Fenton is Wickedly Detailed

— March 16, 2013 — Art & Design
These wall decals by artist Joe Fenton are hyper-detailed works of art. The monochrome image, which has sketched free-hand on this lucky apartment owners wall, almost looks like a portal into another world. In this expansive image, entitled A Triptych - The Landing, the surrealist influenced artist has created a gateway into a world guarded by grotesque, one-eyed monsters and Buddhist symbolism. 

The London based artist creates these ridiculously detailed black and white images using a mixture of graphite, ink and acrylics on paper. The artist prefers to work in black and white. Before the artist committed full-time to his fine-art work, he worked as a children’s book author and illustrator. I’m not sure many children would be able to handle the ghoulish images in these devilishly good artworks.
Trend Themes
1. Hyper-detailed Wall Art - There is an opportunity for companies to create technology that can help artists replicate hyper-detailed works of art on various surfaces at scale.
2. Surrealist Home Decor - Home decor companies can disrupt the traditional market by offering surrealist-inspired designs in various mediums including wall decals, wallpaper, and furniture.
3. Black and White Fine Art - The trend towards black and white fine art presents an opportunity for companies to offer products and services that cater to this market such as printing services and art supplies.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Art and design companies can disrupt the traditional fine art market and expand into home decor products and services.
2. Printing and Imaging - Companies that specialize in printing and imaging can offer new and innovative printing techniques to replicate hyper-detailed works of art on various mediums.
3. Home Decor - Home decor companies can offer surrealist-inspired designs in their products such as wall decals and wallpaper to cater to an edgier and more unconventional market.
