The work relies heavily on xeroxed imaged of vintage magazine photos and compiled scrap papers. The dynamically compositional works are then enlarged and reconfigured to large-scales. OSI frequents a broken body motif, slicing screen-printed images into obscure, [sculpture-like forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti). The resulting visual is slightly disturbing, better engaging audiences with the environment and community atmosphere. The Vancouver-based artist was been creating [spontaneous installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time) for ten years. Often, an Office Supplies Incorporated mural will appear overnight allowing for a more interactive experience for viewers. His murals can be found on the exterior of the Vancouver Art Gallery, on dumpsters and the bottom of bridges respectively. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Giant Collage Murals:** Opportunity for artists and urban developers to create large-scale collages as a form of public art. - **Xerox Imaging:** Potential for businesses to utilize xeroxed images in creative and innovative ways, such as advertising or interior design. - **Interactive Street Art:** Emerging trend of spontaneous installations that engage viewers and create a more interactive experience in urban environments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to explore new forms and mediums of artistic expression, such as oversized collage murals. - **Printing and Publishing:** Potential for companies to tap into the demand for xerox imaging services and offer innovative printing solutions for businesses and individuals. - **Urban Development:** Opportunity for urban developers and city planners to incorporate interactive street art as a way to enhance community engagement and attract visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enigmatic Graffiti Incidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti.md) - [Street Art Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieze-los-angeles.md) - [Mural Design Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-by-squares.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Office-Themed Metallic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankie-shop.md) - [Creative Space-Enhancing Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-artworks.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Urban Text Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md)
