# Unravelled Wildlife Illustrations Jaime Montserrat Created These Artworks Depicting Animals By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaime-montserrat References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/12/unraveling-animals-by-jaime-montserrat/) & [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2013/11/27/emptyland-by-jaume-montserrat/) Jaime Montserrat is behind these artworks depicting animals who are noticeably unravelling. Most of these pictures include [exotic animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-generator), like penguins, zebras, bears and giraffes. These wildlife depictions add intrigue by removing pieces of these critters. Montserrat's animals look like rapidly [unravelling sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral). One of these works features a lizard riding on the back of a giraffe, but the giraffe is missing all of it's spots. Another of these [surreal pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) portrays a mischievous penguin with a bunny in its stomach. These imaginative illustrations were apparently inspired by a dream that Jaime Montserrat had while sleeping on a plane (hence the surreal deconstruction of some of nature's finest creatures). These fantasy land animals intertwine with one another and peacefully coexist with other unravelling species in these artworks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Unravelling Wildlife Illustrations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of surreal animal depictions to create unique and intriguing artworks. - **Exotic Animal Artworks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine exotic animals with artistic techniques, such as deconstruction, to create visually captivating pieces. - **Dream-inspired Illustrations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use dreams and imagination as inspiration for creating fantastical animal illustrations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate surreal animal illustrations into various art forms, including paintings, sculptures, and digital art. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply the concept of unraveling animal depictions to unique clothing designs, creating visually striking apparel. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize surreal animal illustrations in advertising campaigns to capture attention and invoke curiosity in viewers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Juxtaposing Artful Collaborative Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-galaxy.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Sculpturally Provocative Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sculptural-vase.md) - [Graphic Motif Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-jacquard.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Playful Monkey-Inspired Coat Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-coat-stand.md)
