Artist Eric Joyners has just opened his solo exhibition at Corey Helford Gallery and the featured illustrations are a blast!
Entitled 'Donut Logic,' the artwork on display combines unusual themes like vintage robots performing human tasks. The paintings are so beautifully done and wonderfully funny that it's hard to not smile at each one. Be sure to check out the gallery for a better look at Eric Joyners artwork.
Implications - Consumers enjoy technological progress, but still require a human connection to it if they're to truly adapt new technological innovations and devices. These paintings demonstrate consumer desire to make robots more humanlike. Technological products with user-friendly interfaces are thus more likely to be accepted by consumers than ones that neglect this consumer desire.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Humano-robot Art
- Artists are exploring the combination of vintage robots and human tasks, creating unique and humorous pieces that show a consumer desire to humanize robots.
- User-friendly Robotics
- Consumer desire for relatable robots indicates a need for user-friendly interfaces on technological products to increase consumer adoption and acceptance.
- Personification of Technology
- The use of humor and nostalgia in combining robots with human tasks shows an opportunity for technology to become more personified and relatable to consumers.
Sectors Adopting This

- Artists can explore the combination of old and new technologies in their artwork to create unique and humorous pieces that attract consumer attention.
- Robotics
- The trend towards humanizing robots presents an opportunity for robotics companies to create user-friendly interfaces to attract more consumers.
