A great case in point comes via the work of Ginette LaPalme whose artwork consists of [imaginary animal characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-generator) (which are mostly feline) in psychedelic environments. Especially amusing are these [erotic animal portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories). Ginette is a part of the Woweezonk artist collective and halohalo studio in Toronto. **Implications** - Consumers are looking for a shock element in all of their products. Designs that integrate a sexual aspect with unexpected characters create that element of surprise that takes the product to the next level. Companies could incorporate this into their items in order to attract more customers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pop Surrealist Art:** Capitalizing on the popularity of pop surrealist art to create unique product designs which elicit a surprise element. - **Whimsical Animal Characters:** Incorporating imaginary animal characters in product designs to add a playful and surreal aspect. - **Erotic Art:** Integrating a sexual aspect into product designs for a unique shock element. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers could incorporate pop surrealist elements to create unique clothing designs. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies could incorporate whimsical animal characters into home décor items for a playful touch. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies could incorporate erotic art into their merchandise to cater to a bold and daring audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Provocative Can Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provocative-can-design.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md)
