# Psychedelic Blobbish Sculptures Bozo's Hangover by Henrique Oliveira Looks Like a Clown's Vomit By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bozos-hangover References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2014/05/22/henrique-oliveira/) & [henriqueoliveira](http://www.henriqueoliveira.com/) If a person ever wondered what vomit would look like spewing from the mouth of a clown, perhaps the Bozo's Hangover artwork would be the best answer. Although clearly a surreal answer, it is one that plays on people's imaginations in a disgustingly playful way. Granted, the blob of psychedelic colors could easily be considered something much more abstract. Created by Henrique Oliveira, an artist hailing from Brazil, Bozo's Hangover is a sculpture that is made out of plywood and acrylic paint. Choice materials for the artist, who has created some stunning [site-specific sculptures](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baitogogo) in the past, they are often picked up from the streets of Sao Paolo, where he lives. According to Beatiful Decay, "The objects’ swirls, knots and root-like quality allude to both natural and artificial substances." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Psychedelic Sculptures:** There is room for creating more psychedelic sculptures that play on people's imaginations. - **Abstract Art:** Abstract art inspired by natural and artificial substances is an interesting trend that is worth exploring. - **Sustainable Art:** Using scrap materials and found objects to create sustainable art is a trend that can be popularized. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can take up creating more surreal and provocative sculptures such as Bozo's Hangover. - **Event Planning:** Event planning industry can explore incorporating such psychedelic sculptures in events and exhibition. - **Waste Management:** Artists and design professionals can team up with waste management industries to find other creative ways to upcycle scrap materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Anamorphic Fuzzy Glowing Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Virant Monumental Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meow-wolfs-group-exhibition.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
