# Intricately Inked Walls This Wall Decal by Artist Joe Fenton is Wickedly Detailed By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-03-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-joe-fenton References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/A-Triptych-The-Landing-2013-Central-Panel/7507411) & [joefentonart](http://joefentonart.com/) These [wall decals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **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. - **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. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Art and design companies can disrupt the traditional fine art market and expand into home decor products and services. - **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. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Approved Intricate Wallpaper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors.md) - [Renter-Friendly Wallpaper Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renter-friendly-wallpaper.md) - [Textural Wallcovering Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallcovering-technology.md) - [Graphic Wallpaper Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-surfaces.md) - [Archival Pigment Art Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parallax.md) - [Statement Wall Covering Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-muro.md) - [Sculptural Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-wall-desk.md) - [Folk Art-Inspired Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backdrop.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md)
