# Vivifying Color Shapes Graffiti Okuda Brightens the World with His Colorful Graffiti By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-02-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-graffiti References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/artistes/okuda/) & [okudart.es](http://okudart.es/showcase/) Okuda has added his colorful graffiti to bring some life to dull and monochromatic areas of the world. His art features bold and bright colors that resemble a rainbow and contrasts them against its environment. This transforms these locations into happy-go-lucky atmospheres. The premise of using [colorful shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) seems like a simple one, but his execution is brilliant. Okuda’s works are incredibly eye-catching and could brighten up the worst of areas. In fact, he could make a ghetto look pleasant. Judging by the images, Okuda has taken this movement worldwide. The locations of these images take place in forests, [urban areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2) and even in front of palace-like structures. With the cheerful tone his colorful graffiti exudes, I would say the world could use more of Okuda’s work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 2% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Colorful Graffiti Movement:** There is an opportunity to create a movement of colorful graffiti art that can bring life to dull areas. - **Bold and Bright Color Trend:** There is an opportunity to create products and services that feature bold and bright colors to add visual interest to otherwise monochromatic spaces. - **Happy-go-lucky Atmosphere Trend:** There is an opportunity to create products and services that cultivate a cheerful and uplifting atmosphere in various industries. ### Where This Applies - **Urban Development:** Urban planners and developers can incorporate colorful graffiti art into public spaces to create engaging and lively environments. - **Retail:** Retailers can incorporate bright and bold colors into their visual merchandising to attract customers and create a memorable shopping experience. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can incorporate colorful and cheerful design elements to create a happy-go-lucky atmosphere for their patrons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rico-gatson.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Neon Illustation-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1.md) - [Community-Inspired Colorful Substations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-cross-town.md) - [Bright London Typeface Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-things-come-to-those-who-wait.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md)
