# Scary Symmetrical Illustrations Hyeyeol Draws Horror-Filled Rorschach Test-Like Renderings By Jason Soy | Published 2012-04-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyeyeol References: [juxtapoz](http://www.juxtapoz.com/Erotica/hyeyeols-dark-twisted-fantasy) & [hyeyeol.deviantart](http://hyeyeol.deviantart.com/) South Korean artist Hyeyeol is fascinated by [symmetry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical). Many of her compositions feature sides that are mirror images of its counterpart, similar to a Rorschach test. Unlike the popular ink blots used in psychology, however, Hyeyeol’s works are meticulously defined pieces that depict [psychedelic scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) with a Renaissance approach to drawing anatomy. “Idiosyncratic” does not even begin to describe her images. Hyeyeol, whose real name is Song Hye Yeol, is also notable for her bizarrely creepy concepts. Many of her subjects appear unclothed and are contorted into poses that make yoga positions seem basic. Coupled with the [sinister expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork) on these people’s faces, Hyeyeol’s renderings can truly induce nightmares in those who are easily frightened. Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that Hyeyeol is highly adept at using a variety of media, using watercolors and inks in a harmonious and skilled manner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Symmetrical Illustrations:** Opportunity for artists to explore symmetry in a horror-filled and Renaissance-inspired approach. - **Bizarrely Creepy Concepts:** Potential for horror and thriller industries to incorporate unclothed and contorted poses to induce fear in audiences. - **Harmonious Mixed Media Art:** Chance for artists to experiment with using watercolors and inks in a skilled and harmonious manner. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore using symmetry and horror themes in their work. - **Horror:** Potential for horror films and books to utilize unclothed and contorted poses in their works to induce fear. - **Publishing:** Chance for publishers to highlight artists skilled at using mixed media in their works. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Starry-Eyed Dichroic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starryeyed-dichroic-sculpture.md)
