# Women Warrior Paintings Martin Eder Creates an Atmospheric Series Surrounding Strong Females By Meghan Young | Published 2015-05-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-eder References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2015/05/14/martin-eders-atmospheric-paintings-fearless-melancholic-female-warriors) & [martineder](http://www.martineder.com/) Martin Eder paints a wide range of subject matter. Last year he did a series involving [cats](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-cat-painting), this year he's concentrating on the strength of women -- women warriors, specifically. With his signature atmospheric style, Martin Eder's heroines are blurred between the lines of reality and fantasy. Beautiful Decay writes, "Blending Botticelli-esque classicism with contemporary hyperrealism, Eder’s paintings defy categorization, appealing in their ambivalence to our fantasies through passionate stories radiating courage and melancholia." With this in mind, it comes as no surprise that Martin Eder's work is so captivating. These particular paintings make up an exhibit titled 'Those Bloody Colors,' which is currently showing at Eigen + Art in Berlin, Germany. Powerful and incredibly detailed, it would be an entirely different experience in person. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Atmospheric Paintings:** Exploring the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, there is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating immersive art experiences. - **Representation of Women Warriors:** There is a growing trend of showcasing strong female characters, suggesting an opportunity to disrupt traditional gender roles in storytelling and media. - **Blending Classicism with Hyperrealism:** The fusion of classic artistic styles with contemporary techniques opens up potential for disruptive innovation in the world of visual arts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Exhibitions:** Designing interactive and immersive art exhibitions can provide unique and captivating experiences for audiences, disrupting traditional gallery spaces. - **Film and Entertainment:** The rise in demand for stories featuring strong female leads presents an opportunity to disrupt the film and entertainment industry by challenging gender stereotypes and showcasing diverse narratives. - **Art Education:** Integrating classical artistic styles with modern techniques in art education can disrupt traditional teaching methods and inspire new forms of expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Artist-Backed Women Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ramona-pintea.md) - [Female Artist-Honoring Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomma-bloom-x-ttw-editions-collection.md) - [Raw Sports Emotion Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-exhibition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Anti-Gender Violence Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antigender-violence-campaign.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Immigration System-Inspired Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-series.md)
