A graduate of the [California Institute of the Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-and-space-center), the Chul collection is a stunning exhibit of the human form. Focused on facial and limb-centric imagery, the lifelike string structures are meant to engage viewers. As the elastic strings are strewn across dual platforms, spectators must stand at a certain angle if they wish to be privy to the totality of the displays. And let's face it, who wouldn't? Hong Sung Chul's suspended artwork makes use of a revolutionary, cord-like medium. The haunting human depictions burst with color, and provide a fresh approach to the depiction of bodily structures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hanging String Artwork:** String art as a medium for art. - **Human Form Art:** Exploring the human form as a subject in art. - **Engaged Spectators:** Interactive art engaging viewers in a physical way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Innovative mediums in art. - **Technology:** Developing new materials for art and installations. - **Experiential Marketing:** Interactive art installations for brand activations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Hanging Portal-Like Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-installation.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md)
