Playfully Surreal Album Art

The Makeba by Jain Visuals are Shot by Parisian studio Paul&Martin

— May 2, 2016 — Fashion
Music can be as interpretable as images -- a fact that is embodied in the album art for Makeba by Jain, a French singer represented by Sony Music. Inspired by the meaning of 'jain,' which refers to an ancient Indian religion that prescribes the path of non-violence towards all living beings, the images cross modern imagery with divine ones.

Conceived and executed by Parisian studio Paul&Martin, the album art for Makeba by Jain is not only surreal, but full of bright colors as well. With a focus on yellows and blues, the singer herself pops out in a simple black dress. Granted, people would be arrested by her multiple arms and legs as well. It's interesting to see art perpetuate art in this way -- even if it is a natural concept.
Trend Themes
1. Playfully Surreal Art - Embracing the fusion of modern imagery with divine concepts, playfully surreal art offers opportunities for artists to create visually captivating and thought-provoking pieces.
2. Interpretable Music - Exploring the interpretability of music through album art opens up avenues for artists and musicians to collaboratively express their unique creative visions.
3. Colorful Visuals - Utilizing vibrant colors, such as yellows and blues, in album art provides a visually striking and memorable experience for music listeners.
Industry Implications
1. Music Industry - The music industry can leverage playfully surreal album art to enhance the visual representation of artists and albums, thereby creating a stronger connection with fans and attracting new listeners.
2. Art Industry - The art industry can embrace the concept of playfully surreal art and collaborate with musicians to create visually captivating album covers, expanding the reach and appeal of both the music and the art.
3. Design Industry - The design industry can draw inspiration from the use of vibrant colors and surreal elements in album art to create engaging and visually impactful designs in various fields, such as advertising, branding, and packaging.
