Taking on the shape of abstract mazes and mandalas, the wall-mounted sculptures are full of [colorful light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation) that will bring to mind [stained glass creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilion-set), granted in a more contemporary vein. Enchantingly prismatic, the geometric dichroic glass installations are both simple and complex, which allows viewers to interpret them in a variety of different ways. Created by Chris Wood, an artist based in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, the geometric dichroic glass installations are his way of exploring the aesthetic potential of light. He writes, "Minimal structures, support simple arrangements of glass, which interact with light to create complex patterns of light and shade, which change depending upon the position of the viewer and the angle of the light source." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Geometric Dichroic Glass Art:** Artists and designers can explore the use of dichroic glass in creating mesmerizing and prismatic geometric installations. - **Minimalist Light Art:** Incorporating simple arrangements of glass and light can create complex and ever-changing patterns in art and design. - **Alternative Stained Glass:** Dichroic glass can be used as an innovative and contemporary alternative to traditional stained glass in architecture and design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Geometric dichroic glass art installations can be incorporated in exhibitions, installations, and interior design to create stunning visual effects. - **Architecture and Construction:** Dichroic glass can be used as a building material in architectural projects to add color and visual depth to buildings. - **Lighting:** Dichroic glass can be incorporated in lighting fixtures to create unique and vibrant lighting effects for homes, offices, and public spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Geometric Outdoor Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-glass-wind-chime.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md) - [Stunningly Intricate Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md)
