The pieces are grouped together in a collection titled ‘Animae Dementia.’ The ghoulish creatures loom over the abandoned urban landscapes in a [playful, yet daunting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) way. Each creature is wiry and dark, created with dulled neutrals or in grey scale, threatening to gobble up the artists. The massive works are created using a ‘wheat-pasted’ paper technique rather than the traditional use of spray or canned paint. This spontaneous ‘animal madness’ and the involvement of the artists allows for a better experience for the audience. Ro and l'Homme Pendu suspend themselves within the work, appearing to be gobbled up by the twisted creatures. The partners have made [installations in Berlin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2) and close to Notre Dame in Paris. These powerful and playful installations have viewers hanging on for more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Playful Ghoulish Graffiti:** The use of wheat-pasted paper technique in creating ghoulish and playful graffiti offers opportunities for unique and engaging street art experiences. - **Interactive Street Art Installations:** The involvement of the artists in their installations, such as appearing to be gobbled up by the creatures, opens up possibilities for interactive street art experiences. - **Spontaneous Animal Madness:** The concept of spontaneous animal madness in street art can create a sense of intrigue and captivate viewers, leading to new forms of artistic expression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Street Art:** The ghoulish graffiti trend presents opportunities for street artists to explore new techniques and engage audiences in unique ways. - **Tourism and Travel:** Interactive street art installations can attract tourists and travelers looking for unique and immersive experiences in cities around the world. - **Art Galleries and Exhibitions:** The concept of spontaneous animal madness in street art can inspire art galleries and exhibitions to showcase innovative and captivating art installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Enigmatic Graffiti Incidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti.md) - [Confectionary Graffiti Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummie.md) - [Graffiti-Painted Homeware Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amour-collection.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Whiskey-Themed Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfest.md)
