Revolving around [photo realistic nude portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition), everything from the faces to the bodies have been distorted with chaotic brushstrokes. Yet it appears to represent something more than a simple disruption. The intentionally destroyed paintings appear to be a reflection of a state of mind and being. Not to mention that they also play with the idea of creation and destruction on a higher level. As written on his [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-verified) page, "His work becomes an introspective study of human beings, their conflicts, their nature and existence." Overall, the artworks are quite simple aside from the haphazard brushstrokes. The backdrops are plain, which allow the subject to stand out all the more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Intentionally Destroyed Paintings:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art world by challenging traditional notions of beauty and perfection. - **Distorted Portraits:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the field of portrait art by exploring new ways to represent the human form and evoke emotion. - **Creation and Destruction:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in art theory and philosophy by examining the relationship between creation and destruction. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Art:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the fine art industry with the introduction of intentionally destroyed paintings as a new artistic style. - **Art Education:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in art education by incorporating the study of intentionally destroyed paintings as a way to foster creative thinking and unconventional artistic expression. - **Art Therapy:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the field of art therapy by utilizing intentionally destroyed paintings as a therapeutic tool for self-expression and emotional healing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Deconstructed Eroded Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deconstructed-soccer-ball.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md)
