# Titillating Tank Sculptures Fan Xiaoyan's Half Woman-Half Machine Artwork By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-04-26 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fan-xiaoyan References: [lookinart.net](http://www.lookinart.net/2010/04/fan-xiaoyan.html) & [elikleinfineart](http://www.elikleinfineart.com/html/artistresults.asp?artist=138&testing=true) Sculptor Fan Xiaoyan has created several part woman, part metallic warrior pieces that I would not want to run into in a dark alley. Clearly the 'Terminator' movie franchise did *not* have the market on kickass [half man/half machinery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-humanoid) cornered. Fan Xiaoyan's [titillating tank sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko) make me think of Rose McGowan in Robert Rodriguez's 'Planet Terror'--a role in which she had a [machine gun for a leg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ffate). Xiaovan's version, however, is ten times more destructive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Metallic Art:** Merging human forms with metallic elements in art - **Sci-fi Sculptures:** Creating fantastical sculptures with influences from science fiction genre - **Warrior Women:** Depicting powerful women as fighters in art and sculpture ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Exploring new mediums and techniques to create boundary-pushing art - **Sculpture:** Incorporating technology and science fiction themes into traditional sculpture forms - **Entertainment:** Developing new visually striking concepts for film and video game design that incorporate sci-fi elements and strong female characters ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [CG Technology Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cg-technology-art-exhbition.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Sci-Fi Nostalgic Dragon Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ground-dragon.md) - [Sculpturally Formed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md)
