# Glitter Art Rene Garcia's Exhibit By Cowbag | Published 2007-05-01 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artists-rene-garcia-anna-nicole-tribute-in-glitter References: [renegarciajr](http://www.renegarciajr.com) Rene Garcia has been a long standing glitter artist - doing work for companies like Diesel. However, its for his tribute to Anna Nicole Smith 'Who Profits' that the artist is getting most attention. And I agree, it rocks. More about Rene (From his site): "René draws upon a broad palette of established techniques, media, and experience in an effort to re-imagine popular art. An accomplished painter, graphic designer, illustrator, sculptor and stereo photographer, it his large format sculptural glitter paintings that have drawn the most recognition. His paintings are carefully handcrafted for maximum impact, with some pieces taking over 100 hours to complete. Glitter demands interface; it must be witnessed first-hand in order to appreciate how it sparkles. René exploits this fact in an effort to create art that is truly unique by design. His glitter pieces are highly reflective changes in lighting and movement add vibrancy, depth and dimension. These works are deliberately difficult to reproduce or photograph and must be seen firsthand to be believed." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Glitter Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new techniques and materials for creating glitter art to enhance its impact and uniqueness. - **Sculptural Glitter Paintings:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore advanced manufacturing technologies to create large format sculptural glitter paintings more efficiently. - **Interactive Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Combine technology and art to create interactive glitter art installations that respond to lighting and movement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new glitter art techniques and styles to attract a broader audience and drive growth in the art market. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Collaborate with glitter artists to create immersive glitter art experiences for events, concerts, and themed entertainment venues. - **Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop automated processes and technologies for manufacturing glitter materials and large-scale glitter art pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Provoking Graffiti Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-ruggeri.md) - [Juxtaposing Digital Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riflessi.md) - [Pearl-Centric Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giga-pearl.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [Collaborative Designer Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition.md) - [Vibrant Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rico-gatson.md)
