Amazing art usually causes you to wince at first (which this does), but then entrances you in a way that is hard to explain. Love it or hate it, the fact is that Planet Patrol has created some amazing work in his (and Collin van der Sluijs') gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Psychedelic Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in creating innovative, interactive and immersive experiences using augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, with trippy avian art themes. - **Fantastical Hybrid Creatures:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating new merchandise such as toys, clothing, and accessories featuring fantastical hybrid creatures such as man/bird hybrids featured in Planet Patrol's 'Floater 1' collection. - **Contemporary Art Galleries:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating fully immersive, interactive exhibition spaces in contemporary art galleries using technologies such as AR and VR, to showcase and promote psychedelic art as a new form of contemporary art. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art industry by creating new art movements that are based on psychedelic concepts and themes, such as Planet Patrol's 'Floater 1' collection. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create new fashion lines featuring psychedelic and fantastical hybrid creatures found in Planet Patrol's 'Floater 1' collection. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the entertainment industry by creating new immersive, interactive experiences and exhibits that use AR and VR technologies to showcase psychedelic art as a new form of entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Burgeoning Psychedelic Art Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-art-movement.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Immigration System-Inspired Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-series.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Anamorphic Fuzzy Glowing Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases.md) - [Art-Appreciating Hazy IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-hazy-ipas.md)
