# Vibrant Minimal Art Shows The 100 Colors Exhibit by Emmanuelle Moureaux Encourages Reflection By Meghan Young | Published 2014-10-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-colors References: [thecoolhunter.net](http://www.thecoolhunter.net/events) & [emmanuelle.jp](http://www.emmanuelle.jp/) 100 Colors is the name of a recent art exhibit that focused on a ton of bright hues. Although people can liken 100 Colors to a modern interpretation of a rainbow, there is more to the [minimalist show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-pucci-pure-exhibition) than its comparison to nature. Made up of [traditional Japanese paper screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-a-light), the [vibrant dividers hang from the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation) in an organized fashion. Created by Emmanuelle Moureaux, the French-born and Tokyo-based architect, the 100 Colors exhibit was located at the Shinjuku Mitsui Building in Japan. Known for her love of colors, it is no surprise that it would be the focus of her exhibit. Tuija Seipell also notes, "Many of her projects in retail, hospitality and public spaces express some combination of the two, using colorful screens as dividers and using color as a space maker." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalistic Art Exhibits:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could include incorporating vibrant colors in unconventional art mediums. - **Colorful Dividers as Space Makers:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could involve using colorful screens as dividers in various industries such as retail, hospitality, and public spaces. - **Modern Interpretation of Nature:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could explore creative ways to interpret and represent the colors found in nature. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could involve the introduction of new techniques or mediums that incorporate vibrant colors. - **Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could explore incorporating colorful screens as dividers for visual merchandising or store layouts. - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could include using colorful dividers to create unique and visually appealing spaces in hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality establishments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsically Vibrant Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama.md) - [Immersive Spring-Themed Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colors-in-bloom.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Sensory Explorative Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-sense-of-color.md) - [Minimalist Meaningful Living Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meaningful-living.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Staged Room Design Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-of-colour.md) - [Colour Immersion Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandarin-oriental-suite.md) - [Chromatic Emotional Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3form-2025-color-collection.md)
