That's why the collection of [Rubik's Cube art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-rubiks) by Invader being shown at the Johnathan Levine Gallery takes true genius and skill. The art of '[painting' with a Rubik's Cube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-by-squares) is believed to have originated from the French artist, Invader. He carefully puts together brick by brick, square by square, color patterns that create an overall image (like a Rubik's Cube collage). The work he has accomplished is rather fascinating. I guess the Rubik's Cube is good for something (other than fueling my anger issues.) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Rubik's Cube Artistry:** The rise of Rubik's Cube art as a new medium for artists to express their creativity which is rare and unique. - **Interactive Art:** Artists combining interactive puzzles and games to engage and stimulate their audience. - **Pixel Art Resurgence:** The comeback of pixel art as a preferred design style due to its classic appeal and simplicity. ### Where This Applies - **Art Galleries:** Art galleries showcasing interactive art installations to provide a new level of art and entertainment experience for their audience. - **Toy and Puzzle Industry:** Collaborating with artists to design puzzles and toys that serve not only as a plaything, but as an art piece with aesthetic value. - **Art Education and Programs:** Rubik's Cube art innovation as an opportunity for expansion of arts programs and creative education in schools and community centers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Puzzle Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/50th-anniversary-rubiks-cube.md) - [Interactive Gaming Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubiks-wowcube.md) - [Artist-Edition Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistedition-jigsaw-puzzles.md) - [Social Puzzle Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubiks-run.md) - [Branded Denim Puzzle Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-x-rubiks-cube.md) - [Puzzle Cube-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orly-x-rubiks.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Contemporary Art Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-art-building-set.md) - [Micro-Sized Puzzle Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallest-rubiks-cube.md)
