# Painting-Shaped Bouquets This Floral Artwork Promotes a Still Life and a Flower Business By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-06-30 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-artwork References: [prexamples](http://prexamples.com/2016/06/dutch-painting-of-bouquet-recreated-in-actual-flowers/) & [youtu.be](https://youtu.be/jxSbdXpH2yA) With help from funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk, a floral artwork replica of Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder's 'A Still Life of Flowers in a Wan-Li Vase' painting now sits outside of The National Gallery in London. While the large-scale artwork is inspired by a painting, it is actually constructed from real flowers. It took 30 florists two days to assemble the artful floral piece, which celebrates the support that funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk is bringing to the museum's Dutch Flowers exhibit. The incredible [floral art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing) was constructed with [tulips, peonies, carnations, roses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preserved-roses) and more in 37 different colors for accurate depth and shading. In order to keep the [painting-inspired floral installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation) looking fresh, it even has its own built-in water irrigation system. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Publicity Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/publicitystunts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Floral Artwork Replicas:** Opportunity for artists and florists to create large-scale floral replicas of famous paintings, merging art and nature. - **Supporting Cultural Exhibits:** Opportunity for businesses to sponsor and collaborate with museums by providing resources and promoting their brand through art installations. - **Built-in Water Irrigation Systems:** Opportunity for horticultural innovation by developing automated irrigation systems that maintain the freshness of large-scale floral installations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Opportunity for artists and galleries to explore the intersection of traditional art and floral arrangements, creating unique and immersive experiences. - **Floral:** Opportunity for florists to expand their services by offering floral artwork replicas and large-scale installations for events and exhibitions. - **Museums:** Opportunity for museums to collaborate with brands and businesses to bring innovative art installations and engage with a new audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plush Flower Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cj-hendrys-flower-market.md) - [Temporary Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-market-20.md) - [Artist Painting-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunflowers-set.md) - [Preserved Flower Keepsakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-preservation.md) - [Artist-Inspired Flower Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belgiandesigner.md) - [Stone Floral Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom.md) - [Mirrored Flower Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness.md) - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Vibrant Preserved Rose Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preserved-roses.md)
