# Silver-Splattered Shoots The Marilyn Minter Salon 94 Exhibition is All Glitter and Gold By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marilyn-minter-salon-94 References: [lifelounge.au](http://www.lifelounge.com.au/photography/news/marilyn-minter-photography.aspx) & [salon94](http://salon94.com/artist/marilyn-minter) If a person had to guess the age of the photographer who took the photos for the Marilyn Minter Salon 94 solo exhibit, he or she probably wouldn't guess 63. That's because the images are so youthful, gritty and urban that it is hard to imagine anyone above the age of 30 or even 40 taking them. But the Marilyn Minter Salon 94 exhibit shows that age really is just a number. Minter has become known for her [oral fixation](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marilyn-minter) and signature close-up shots. Yet, the Marilyn Minter Salon 94 solo exhibit goes beyond that to include some arresting images of children playing in shimmering paint as well as the occasional foot shot. The magical and boundary-pushing feel of Minter's photography still remains, however, making this a very special shoot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Youthful Photography:** There is an opportunity for older photographers to challenge the traditional expectations of their age and produce youth-focused content. - **Exploration of Childlike Creativity:** Industries can explore the use of childlike creativity in their products and services, using mediums such as paint to appeal to adults. - **Pushing Boundaries:** There is an opportunity for artists and photographers to push boundaries and challenge societal norms with their work, including showcasing unconventional subjects such as feet and oral fixations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Photographers can explore new and unconventional techniques to appeal to a younger audience. - **Art:** Artists can push boundaries and challenge societal norms with their work, using unconventional mediums and subjects. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic companies can use shimmer to appeal to consumers who are interested in unconventional and boundary-pushing trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Appointment-Basis Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-more-tears-im-lovin-it.md) - [Medicine-Inspired Artful Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-the-pain.md) - [Limited-Edition Nightclub Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Artist-Honoring Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-honoring-exhibition.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Sculptural Gallery Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko.md)
