# Fluid Formed Totemic Exhibitions Mark Whalen's Ramble Ramble Exhibition Explores Human Silhouettes By Amy Duong | Published 2019-04-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ramble-ramble References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/4/mark-whalen-ramble-ramble-exhibition-inside-look) & [overtheinfluence](http://overtheinfluence.com/) Mark Whalen is a talented Australian artist and he recently opened the doors to his solo 'Ramble Ramble' exhibition in Los Angeles' Over the Influence location. The installation features a lineup of [sculptures and wall reliefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition) that represent Whalen's own iteration of what human-like subjects could be through [fluid forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). The artworks are translated through totemic structures and come in a range of sizes -- some of which sit on top of concrete structures. The Californian gallery explains that “A ramble is a journey with a kind of meta-destination, a route without any particular goal except the adventure of forwarding motion. For artist Mark Whalen, it’s the perfect analogy for his recent studio practices and arrival at this body of [fresh sculptural forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series) for wall and floor.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Fluid Formed Sculptures:** Exploring the use of fluid forms in sculptures, presenting opportunities for innovative and unique artistic expressions. - **Totemic Structures:** Embracing the use of totemic structures in art installations, offering immersive and thought-provoking experiences to viewers. - **Meta-destination Art:** Creating art pieces that focus on the journey rather than a specific end goal, inspiring new approaches to artistic expression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore the potential of fluid forms and totemic structures in creating captivating artworks. - **Gallery and Exhibition:** Gallery owners and exhibition organizers can incorporate fluid formed sculptures and totemic structures to enhance visitor experiences and engagement. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can draw inspiration from fluid forms and totemic structures to create visually striking and unique spaces for their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Whimsical Spirit Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima.md) - [Indigenous Form Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gabriel-chaile.md) - [Artful Meditative Sculptural Caves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-on-space.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md)
