The pictures really come to life because of the canvas they’re painted on. Tracy uses female nude models and paints them to perfection. The models are subtly hidden under layers of paint and their [feminine forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-carvers) help to shape each piece of artwork. Tracy’s daring canvases are further livened up with his fearless and bold use of color, including vibrant reds, bright blues and grassy greens. Tracy also uses every curve on a woman’s body to accentuate his use of lines in his paintings. Tracy's [surreal landscape portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) are hauntingly beautiful, some of the most notable in this collection is his swirling African inspired yellow and black portrait, his mountainside landscape and blood red sky. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Body Paint Art:** Opportunity to disrupt the traditional canvas art by using body paintings as canvas for nature and landscape portraits. - **Female Form as Canvas:** Opportunity to explore the use of female form as a canvas for body painting, blurring the lines between human art and art on human. - **Subtle Nudity:** Opportunity to challenge societal norms and taboos by exploring the subtle use of nudity in art to bring forward a more nuanced cultural commentary. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Arts:** Disrupt the fine arts industry by bringing forward the use of unconventional mediums such as body paintings as a means of expression. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by exploring body painting as a medium for creating show-stopping runway looks. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity to use body painting as a way of creating more striking and visually stunning advertising content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Suburban-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suburbaninspired-art-exhibition.md)
