# Acid-Induced Artwork Douglas Bicicleta Creates Art You Never Want to Take Your Eyes off Of By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-11-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/douglas-bicicleta References: [lifelounge](http://lifelounge.com/Rainbow-psychedelia-and-Douglas-Bicicleta.aspx) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/dogrinhasdosteclados/) So let’s say you decide to experiment with drugs (I am not condoning such actions, but they always worked for me). You drop some acid and you start seeing colors and really messed up images, basically like the work of Brazilian artist Douglas Bicicleta. Utilizing [big, bright, bold colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2) as much as low key, smoked out [illusionary styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery), Douglas Bicicleta doesn’t stop when others do. This guy takes on the [strangest things life has to offer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble), and displays them in a way you can only appreciate, but not understand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Psychedelic Art:** The use of drugs like acid to inspire unconventional and trippy artwork. - **Illusionary Styles:** Art styles that create visual illusions or distortions. - **Bold Color Palette:** The use of vibrant and eye-catching colors in artwork. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists to explore unconventional and mind-bending art forms. - **Fashion:** Integration of bold and psychedelic patterns and colors in clothing and accessories. - **Entertainment:** Creating visually immersive experiences using illusionary styles and vibrant colors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Burgeoning Psychedelic Art Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-art-movement.md) - [Color-Blending Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felipe-pantone.md) - [Colorful Cycling Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together.md) - [Boundary-Pushing Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briony-douglas-1.md) - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Marble-Patterned Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-interior.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Artist-Envisioned Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-collaboration-series.md)
