# Mind-Bending Collages Artist Chrissie Abbott Recreates the '60s By Zoe Badley | Published 2010-08-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrissie-abbott References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2010/08/23/chrissie-abbott/) & [chrissieabbott](http://www.chrissieabbott.co.uk/) This amazing series by artist Chrissie Abbott is what I imagine the '60s would've looked like -- a whole lot of [psychedelic images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia) piled into one. The [mixture of color and black-and-white images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii) blend warmly into a collage. Abbott's work fuses [different features and textures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) to balance each element perfectly. According to Beautiful/Decay, her work has appeared in Nylon and New York Magazine. Be sure to check out the gallery for a closer look at each collage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Psychedelic Collages:** Creating collage art that blends colorful and black-and-white images in a psychedelic manner. - **Mixed Media Fusion:** Fusing different features and textures to create balanced and visually striking artwork. - **Print Magazine Tributes:** Recalling the style and spirit of iconic magazines like Nylon and New York Magazine through art collages. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Exploring new possibilities of collage art and mixed media in the art and design industry. - **Print and Publishing:** Finding innovative ways to pay homage to iconic magazines through mixed media artwork in the print and publishing industry. - **Fashion and Lifestyle:** Inspiring fashion and lifestyle brands to incorporate psychedelic art and mixed media elements in their visual campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Burgeoning Psychedelic Art Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-art-movement.md) - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Whimsically Vibrant Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama.md) - [Vibrantly Abstract Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstraction-collection.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
