# Glowing Human Sculptures Cedric Le Borgne Creates Ethereal, Otherworldly Works of Art By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cedric-le-borgne References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/illuminated-wire-sculptures-take-flight) & [cedricleborgne](http://www.cedricleborgne.com/) Many might already consider the human body a magical form, yet Cedric Le Borgne takes that sentiment to a whole new level. His [illuminated sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) give the [human form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity), as well as a couple of other species, an ethereal, otherworldly quality that is both beautiful and slightly eerie. Yet Cedric Le Borgne manages to give these otherworldly beings some human qualities through the stances that he arranges them in. From sitting calmly to standing slouched, he somehow injects feelings and emotions into his sculptures that create an immediate connection with his audience. Cedric Le Borgne uses chicken wire to create his stunning sculptures. Whether human (Les Voyageurs), deer (La Biche), or monkey (Les Naufragés), there is a sense of freedom in each work that makes people wonder where they are off to. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Illuminated Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists to explore the use of light and form in creating ethereal and captivating artworks. - **Injecting Emotions Into Sculptures:** Potential for artists to evoke emotions and connect with audiences through deliberate poses and expressions in sculptures. - **Chicken Wire as Sculptural Material:** Opening for artists to experiment with unconventional materials like chicken wire to create unique and visually striking sculptures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore innovative ways of incorporating light, emotions, and unconventional materials into their sculpture creations. - **Experiential Events and Installations:** Event planners and installation designers can incorporate illuminated sculptures to create awe-inspiring and immersive experiences for attendees. - **Home Decor and Interior Design:** Home decor retailers and interior designers can capitalize on the trend by offering illuminated sculptures as unique statement pieces for modern interiors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Sculptural Biomaterial Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wevolve-labs.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Wooden Light-Hearted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-sculpture.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Gem-Like Sculptural Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindrical-lenses.md)
