The images express the seediness and dehumanizing aspects of gambling and [debauchery in general](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debauchery-lifestyle) and they do this quite well. A quick browse of the series reveals debauched, sometimes profane, but nonetheless witty scenes. Rena Littleson depicts anything from Jesus on a talk show to [phallic arms wrapped in condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sterling-silver-penis-pen). Work like this may have a hard time finding its way into a frame above a living room fireplace but that is no way to measure its worth. Rena Littleson has a knack for expressing and emphasizing things most people would prefer to ignore. By this measure, 'My two Cents' is a success. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 39% | 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) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Debauchery Art Trend:** The trend of artists creating graphic and provocative art that highlights the seedier aspects of society presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art and entertainment industry. - **Controversial Illustration Trend:** The trend of illustrators creating controversial works of art that push the boundaries of what is socially acceptable presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art and media industry. - **Social Commentary Art Trend:** The trend of using art as a medium for social commentary and criticism presents an opportunity for innovation in the art and activism sector. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Industry:** The art industry has the potential to disrupt traditional notions of what is acceptable and mainstream through the promotion and distribution of provocative art. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can benefit from incorporating controversial and thought-provoking pieces of art into its programming to attract and engage audiences. - **Media Industry:** The media industry can use controversial and provocative art as a means of engaging and expanding its audience while also pushing boundaries and generating discussion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Whimsical Pool-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-pool-exhibition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Playful Balloon Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons.md) - [Boundary-Pushing Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briony-douglas-1.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md)
