# Mixed Media Eco Art Unique Branch Sculptures by Evan Holloway are Haunting By Rebecca K. Welbourn | Published 2011-03-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evan-holloway References: [marcfoxx](http://www.marcfoxx.com/artist/view/1424) Evan Holloway's post-modern eco branch sculptures are a refreshing twist on the [classical sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-the-blue-exhibition). Shouldn't some of the best modern art take [existing materials from the environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-for-the-trees) and reconstruct them in new ways? Evan Holloway's rainbow branch sculpture named 'Chromatic Branch' showcases rich, [acrylic colours and glossy, chunky texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware). The tactile pleasure of Evan Holloway's branch sculptures, around 7 feet in height, are reminiscent of colourful building blocks while still holding such elegance. Evan Holloway's piece 'Grey Scale' features much more spindly grey branches, that remind its viewer of a dim, cold and gray winter's day. With 'Chromatic Branch,' there is laughter, life and playing. With 'Gray Scale,' one can see the death, and possibly the reincarnation, of a life form. Evan Holloway's vision is magnificent, refreshing and challenges our societal ideals about typical life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Post-modern Eco Art:** The trend of using existing materials from the environment to create new and unique art pieces. - **Branch Sculptures:** The trend of sculpting with branches to create visually appealing and tactile art pieces. - **Reconstructing Materials:** The trend of deconstructing and reconstructing materials in innovative ways to create art with depth and meaning. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Sculpture:** The art and sculpture industry can explore the use of eco-friendly materials and techniques to create visually stunning and environmentally conscious artworks. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate branch sculptures as unique and eye-catching elements in their projects, adding a natural and artistic touch to spaces. - **Sustainable Living:** The sustainable living industry can promote the idea of repurposing materials from the environment to create art, emphasizing the importance of eco-conscious practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Repurposed Wooden Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darren-appiagyei.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Monolithic Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conversation-with-trees.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md)
