# Graffitied Hollywood Femmes Andrea Michaelsson Stencil Art Has Old School Glamour By Romina S. Cortellucci | Published 2012-06-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrea-michaelsson-stencil-art References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/andrea-michaelsson-stencil-graffiti) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/btoy/) Evoking classic [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks) glamour, the Andrea Michaelsson Stencil Art is breathtaking. The portraits are created by [Barcelona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-alberts-barcelona-collection) street artist Andrea Michaelsson, who composes one half of the famous artist duo BTOY. Michaelsson began working as a street artist in 2002, and has since mastered her craft by improvising with various art techniques. Covering street walls throughout Europe to art galleries in Los Angeles, London, Mexico and Barcelona, Michaelsson shows how elegant stencil art can be. Michaelsson’s art has a strong sense of nostalgia by paying homage to famous female icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Maureen O’Hara, and Barbra Streisand. Each face reminds us of a time where these classic beauties used style and grace to capture the silver screen. Once again their faces capture our attention, as BTOY is currently showing in the Stencil Bastards exhibition at Starkart, Zurich and possibly on a street near you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Classic Glamour:** Opportunity for artists to embrace classic Hollywood glamour and create visually stunning artwork with a nostalgic appeal. - **Stencil Art:** Potential for stencil artists to explore new techniques and push the boundaries of this popular street art form. - **Revitalizing Icons:** A chance for artists to revive and reimagine famous female icons from the past, infusing them with a modern twist. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Galleries:** Art galleries can feature and promote stencil art that pays tribute to classic Hollywood and attracts nostalgic art enthusiasts. - **Street Art:** Street artists can find opportunities to create stunning stencil art on urban walls, bringing beauty and elegance to public spaces. - **Exhibition Spaces:** Exhibition spaces can curate shows that celebrate the work of stencil artists, offering a platform for innovative and visually captivating artwork. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Street Art-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/met-rooftop.md) - [Striking Glass Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Suburban-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suburbaninspired-art-exhibition.md) - [Street Art Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieze-los-angeles.md) - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Barber-Backed Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andis-company.md) - [Bold Graffiti Printed Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-sprouse.md)
