Marchal Mithouard is a talented French artist who does incredible [three-dimensional paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathematically-shaped) that really pop-out -- and I mean that literally. Mithouard draws influences from a variety of artistic styles such as painting, sculptures, serigraph, photography and tattooing. This versatility has led him to create awe-inspiring pieces that are [vibrant, colorful and original](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation). To take [three-dimensional murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding) to the next step, the artist attaches objects to the painting to further the illusion that the subjects are coming to life from the canvas. A lot of the works appear to have themes of revolt and rebellion which makes the style all the more powerful. Currently, Mithouard's works are on display at Galeries 208 in Paris. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Three-dimensional Murals:** Opportunity for artists to create immersive and visually stunning artworks that bring paintings to life from the canvas. - **Revolt and Rebellion Themes:** Chance for artists to explore powerful and impactful messages through their artworks, adding depth and meaning. - **Incorporation of Objects:** Innovation of attaching objects to the paintings to enhance the illusion and create a more interactive experience for viewers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artistic Design:** Artists and designers can utilize the trend of three-dimensional murals to create unique and engaging visual experiences. - **Gallery Spaces:** Gallery owners and curators can embrace immersive art forms, like vibrant eye-popping murals, to attract and captivate audiences. - **Creative Tourism:** Travel and tourism industry can leverage the appeal of vibrant eye-popping murals to create art-centric destinations and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Playful Pop Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-octopus.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md)
