# Psychedelic Three Dimensional Paintings Artist Mad King Creates Awe-Inspiring 3D Paintings By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-02-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-paintings References: [visualnews](http://www.visualnews.com/2014/02/21/mind-bending-3-dimensional-paintings-mad-king/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/mad-king/80507992086) Artist Mad King (A.K.A. Jake Johanson) creates these incredibly trippy 3D paintings that will have you trying to walk through them. A self-taught artist, Mad King paints these three dimensional masterpieces using "[metallic paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint) and multiple sheens of poly-acrylic paints." The geometric shapes and neon colors he uses in his 3D paintings elevates the work into something truly unique and captivating. Using [walls as his canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-surfaces), Mad King is able to create 3D paintings of enormous scale that enhance the aesthetic value of the rooms lucky enough to house these mind-blowing works of art, and almost look like portals into another world. While the photographs of Mad King's 3D paintings look truly spectacular, I can only imagine what experiencing one his paintings in person would be like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Trippy 3D Paintings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new ways to use metallic paints and poly-acrylic paints to create immersive and mind-bending 3D paintings for various applications. - **Geometric Shapes and Neon Colors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating bold geometric shapes and vibrant neon colors into various art forms to create eye-catching and attention-grabbing visual experiences. - **Large-scale 3D Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Finding innovative methods to create and display large-scale 3D artwork that transforms spaces and creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing new techniques and materials to push the boundaries of traditional art and create unique visual experiences. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating large-scale 3D paintings into interior design to create focal points and transform the atmosphere of spaces. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilizing trippy 3D paintings and vibrant colors to create attention-grabbing and memorable visual campaigns that captivate audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Burgeoning Psychedelic Art Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-art-movement.md) - [Three-Dimensional Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-doubt-your-eyes.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Boundless Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frameless-experience.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md)
