# Visage-Splattered Spreads Jim Cowan Gives Paint Facials in a Contrasted Spread By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-12-14 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-cowan References: [photodonuts](http://www.photodonuts.com/jim-cowan) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/people/92411984@N00/) The work of Jim Cowan is truly unique and completely [surreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery). This series features models painted entirely white against a white background, seeming almost invisible aside from [splashes of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism). The models look as though Jim Cowan has thrown blobs of paint at them, making for a fascinating composition. Though I doubt these [paint facials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) are any good for the models’ skin, they sure do look great. Jim Cowan definitely knows how to think outside of the box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Paint Facials:** The trend of using paint as a facial product for creative makeup displays. - **Invisible Art:** The trend of using a blank background to create fascinating compositions with models. - **Visual Disruption:** The trend of creating visuals that challenge the viewer's perspective or perception. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** Paint facials could disrupt the cosmetics industry by introducing new creative makeup displays. - **Art:** Invisible art offers disruption opportunities for art galleries and exhibits. - **Photography:** Visual disruption offers opportunities for photographers to create unique and memorable images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Monochromatic Cosmetic Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-clinic.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [AI-Generated Soup Can Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campbells-paintings.md) - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Surrealist Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surrealist-popup.md)
