# Juxtaposed Environment Paintings Artist Jeremy Miranda Surreally Blends Interiors and Exteriors By Meghan Young | Published 2015-01-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/environment-painting References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/01/jeremy-miranda-memory/) & [jeremymiranda](http://jeremymiranda.com/) The environment paintings of Jeremy Miranda are more about emotion and memory than they are about space and time. This is most readily evident in the blending of interiors and exteriors. By juxtaposing the two, the environment paintings take on a surreal element that has a existential feeling about them. Utterly breathtaking, the images encourage people to see their personal and public spaces as extensions of the outside world and vice versa. Recently displayed at [Nahcotta Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) in New Hampshire, the environment paintings are available as prints for those interested in surrounding themselves with daily reminders of this sentiment. The Contemporist writes, how Miranda "is fascinated with how the mind creates memories and the [juxtaposition of experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time) both real and perceived," a quality that many share. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Surreal Environment Art:** Opportunity to explore emotional and memory-based perspectives in art-making. - **Interior-exterior Juxtaposition:** Opportunity to create surreal and existential experiences in design and architecture. - **Blended Spaces Aesthetics:** Opportunity to expand design choices and challenge traditional space divisions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for new art aesthetic and design innovation. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** Opportunities to explore unconventional architectural and interior design approaches. - **Home Decor and Lifestyle:** Opportunities for creating surreal and thought-provoking home decor products and designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Juxtaposing Digital Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riflessi.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md)
