# Flammable Feline Sculptures (UPDATE) The David Mach 'Matchheads' Series Will Light Up Rooms By Marina Rotharmel | Published 2012-08-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-mach-matchheads References: [laughingsquid](https://laughingsquid.com/matcheads-david-machs-amazing-sculptures-made-out-of-matchsticks/) & [davidmach](http://www.davidmach.com/matchheads/) Artist David Mach has created some highly flammable pieces of art for a collection titled 'Matchheads.' These incredibly beautiful and intricate sculptures are made almost entirely out of [multicolored match sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-house). In the Matchhead series, Mach has created several different works that vary greatly, from iconic figures to animals. These pointillism-inspired pieces really light up a room, not just because of their flame quality but because of all of the psychedelic colors Mach uses. Some of the [sculptures include famous faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix) like Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, the devil and Betty Boop. As well, he has created [detailed animal faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) of tigers, lions, cheetahs and horses. These are pretty amazing pieces of art, and are definitely worth checking out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flammable Art:** Opportunity for creating innovative artworks using unconventional materials and techniques. - **Matchstick Sculptures:** Potential to explore the use of matchsticks as a medium for sculpting intricate and visually striking designs. - **Pointillism-inspired Art:** Growth in the popularity of pointillism as an art form, leading to experimentation with unique materials and subject matter. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** Disruptive innovation potential through the creation of unconventional art forms using non-traditional materials. - **Home Decor and Interior Design:** Opportunity to incorporate unique and visually striking artworks as part of interior design, especially in spaces that seek to create a visually captivating ambiance. - **Art Galleries and Exhibitions:** Possibility of showcasing innovative and unconventional artworks like the 'Matchheads' series to attract visitors and generate interest in contemporary art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Limited-Edition Artistic Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michle-lamy.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Fire-Inspired Artful Candelabras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forge-candelabra.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md)
