# Pantone Chip Mosaics Manetones by Tim Fraser Brown By Pearl | Published 2008-08-31 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-chip-paintings-manetoneby-tim-fraser-brown References: [casasugar](http://casasugar.com/1891529) & [timfraserbrown](http://www.timfraserbrown.co.uk/) What do you do with over 5,000 unused pantone paint chips? Why make it into a picture! British artist Tim Fraser Brown created a cool reproduction of Édouard Manet’s ‘Bar at the Folies Bergere’ entirely of old [pantone chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-partnered). The chips not only had to be laboriously [colour matched](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taptap-chair), but attached to the canvas too - a process that took four long nights. The close-up picture shows the individual paint chips with the shade name and code still on them. Brown created the piece specifically as a centerpiece for a studio boozy party. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 28% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycling Pantone Chips:** Using unused pantone paint chips to create unique artwork, opening opportunities for sustainable and creative upcycling. - **Color-matching Art:** Incorporating color-matching techniques into artwork, providing new avenues for creative expression and precision. - **Artistic Reproductions:** Reproducing famous artworks using unconventional materials, showcasing innovation and pushing boundaries in the art world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Exploring new techniques and materials in the art and design industry, fostering innovation and creative experimentation. - **Sustainable Products:** Integrating upcycled materials into product development, creating sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for various industries. - **Printing and Color-matching Technology:** Developing advanced printing and color-matching technologies, revolutionizing the production and reproduction of visual art and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Color-of-the-Year NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polygon1993.md) - [Colorful Tile Pool Loungers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cdm30-inflatable-pool-lounger.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Space-Reclaiming Beer Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undrinkable-pints.md) - [Color-Blending Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felipe-pantone.md) - [Artistic Color-Changing Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matisse-inspired-cocktails.md) - [Iconic Pixelated Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poltrona-frau-1.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Painting Display Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism.md)
