# Textural Cubism Artwork Pascal Marlin's Deconstructed Art Pays Homage to Picasso By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-08-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deconstructed-art References: [lanciatrendvisions](http://www.lanciatrendvisions.com/en/article/condensed-flesh-and-soul-in-the-art-of-pascal-marlin) & [pascalmarlin](http://pascalmarlin.com) Pascal Marlin's deconstructed art pieces depict human forms in a bold and unexpected way. The artist's works boast inked drawings that are infused with [paper, fabric and wallpaper fragments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures). The collaged pieces are inspired by the [Cubism art movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocs-braque) and are a modern translation of art pieces similar to those of Picasso himself. Pascal Marlin "glues and assembles everything together, adds paint, and supplies art lovers with a vision of ornamental beauty, dismembered and refined." His shapely forms resemble abstracted views but reveal details of limbs, faces and other human characteristics that shine through pieces of colored material strips. The result is a contemporary cubism study that challenges tradition and plays with its viewer's perception. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Deconstructed Art:** There is potential for disruptive innovation with environmentally friendly materials and innovative techniques for deconstructed art creation. - **Textural Cubism:** There is potential for disruptive innovation with the development of new software, which utilize 3D rendering techniques to create textured artwork. - **Mixed Media Art:** There is potential for disruptive innovation with the development of new versatile automated machinery to assist artists with creating art pieces faster. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Players in the art industry can take advantage of the Deconstructed Art trend by expanding their channels to incorporate more art showcase venues and outlets for deconstructed art-themed artworks. - **Interior Design:** Interior design professionals can take advantage of the Textural Cubism trend by developing textured wall finishes utilizing 3D technology. - **Fashion:** Innovative garment designers can take advantage of Mixed Media Art trend by exploring the use of textile-based embellishments for their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Cardboard-Inspired Ceramic Household Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-collection.md) - [Artist-Edition Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistedition-jigsaw-puzzles.md) - [Artful Anime-Blending Split Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md)
