# Explosively Erratic Murals Caitlin Masley's Graffiti Art Installation Combines 2D and 3D Elements By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-04-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-art-installation References: [ofpaperandthings.blogspot](http://ofpaperandthings.blogspot.ca/2013/04/paper-arts-art-installation.html) & [caitlinmasley](http://www.caitlinmasley.com/portfolio_detail.php?dir=installations&page=aots&ctr=1) In her graffiti art installation project entitled 'Abandonment of the Solid,' artist Caitlin Masley presents an abstract work that combines sculptural pieces as well as wall paintings. The golden graffiti backdrop of the installation is dynamically expressive with vigorous lines creating movement and sharp triangular shapes. In the foreground, various sculptural pieces act as an extension of the mural into the 3D space, occupying the ground as well as the air in front of the expansive design. The effect of this [mixture of 2D and 3D](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad) makes it seem as though the artwork is exploding off of the walls. The gold, bronze and black hues of Caitlin Masley's graffiti art installation adds a richness to the violently erratic art display. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 90% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Abstract 2D and 3D Art:** Integrating sculptural elements with traditional wall paintings creates an explosive and dynamic art experience. - **Multidimensional Murals:** Combining 2D and 3D elements in mural installations adds depth and excitement to the artwork. - **Interactive Graffiti Art:** Using sculptural pieces that occupy both the ground and air engages viewers and creates a captivating visual spectacle. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore new ways of blending different dimensions and materials to create visually stunning and immersive experiences. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating multidimensional murals in interior spaces can revolutionize the way environments are perceived and enhance the overall aesthetic. - **Experiential Marketing:** Using interactive graffiti art installations can captivate and engage customers in unique ways, leaving a memorable brand impression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Enigmatic Graffiti Incidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md)
