# Ornate Construction Vehicles Laser Cut Art by Wim Delvoye By Cowbag | Published 2008-08-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-construction-vehicles-more-awesome-work-from-wim-delvoye References: [core77](http://www.core77.com) These pieces by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye are mind blowing. He takes laser-cutting to a whole new level with his collection of [laser cut construction vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nick-valentijn). Each sculpture is decorated in highly ornate patters that are more reflective of a [Gothic cathedral](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatica-project) than manly trucks. Wim's tattooed pigs have already been featured on this site, but having found this construction vehicles, he most certainly deserves a second mention. I think of JCB's and alike as dirty rubbish machines that no one ever loves or takes car of (as we do with cars), therefore I am particular taken by these works. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ornate Construction Vehicles:** The trend of incorporating intricate designs and patterns on construction vehicles presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the construction industry to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their equipment. - **Laser Cut Art:** The trend of using laser-cutting techniques to create intricate artwork offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the art and design industry to explore new possibilities in sculptural expression. - **Blurring Boundaries:** The trend of blurring boundaries between art and construction introduces a disruptive innovation opportunity for artists, architects, and engineers to collaborate and create visually stunning structures. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** The construction industry can explore the integration of ornate designs on construction vehicles as a unique selling point and cater to clients seeking visually appealing equipment. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage laser-cutting techniques to create intricate sculptures and expand their artistic expression beyond traditional mediums. - **Architecture and Engineering:** Architects and engineers can embrace the blurring boundaries between art and construction to create visually stunning and architecturally unique structures that captivate audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [DIY Life-Size Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nd-woodworking-art.md) - [Race Car-Inspired Dynamic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gerry-judah-1.md) - [Bespoke Car Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md) - [Life-Sized Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benedict-radcliffe-1.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md)
