# Kaleidoscopic Polygonal Patterns (UPDATE) Sarah Gee Turns Geometric Shapes Into Vivid Works of Art By Jason Soy | Published 2011-12-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarah-gee1 References: [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahgeeart) & [sarahgeeart](http://www.sarahgeeart.com/) Staring at these Sarah Gee illustrations, I'm firstly reminded of the [kaleidoscopes I used to play with](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalegoidoscope) as a kid in toy stores. The [unique patterns and trippy colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) are totally evocative of that childhood play thing, only these images were created without the aid of mirrors and tubes. Sarah Gee is an artist currently residing in Vancouver, British Columbia. She explains that her illustrative style borrows from, "op, minimalism, Russian constructivism, color field, and de Stijl" aesthetics. Though the shapes may seem simplistic, Sarah Gee actually puts a lot of meaning behind her works. In fact, her explanations of her pieces are so in depth that I wouldn't be able to do them justice simply transcribing them to you. Who knew that images that look like [colorful crop circles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-sandsara) could hold so much significance? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Illustrations:** The trend of using geometric shapes and patterns in illustrations presents opportunities for artists and designers to create visually striking and meaningful works. - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** The trend of adopting minimalist aesthetics in design and art allows for the exploration of simplicity and focus, providing opportunities for artists to convey depth of meaning in seemingly simple compositions. - **Color Field Art:** The trend of color field art, characterized by large areas of flat color, offers artists the chance to experiment with color theory and evoke emotional responses through the use of vivid hues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can benefit from incorporating geometric illustrations to create visually captivating and conceptually rich works across various mediums, such as digital graphics, paintings, and sculptures. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage minimalist aesthetics to offer consumers clean and uncluttered design options, creating a serene and balanced living environment. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the use of color field art in clothing and accessories, creating bold and vibrant designs that make a statement and stand out in a crowded marketplace. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Painting-Inspired Wallpaper Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portals-collection.md) - [Marble-Patterned Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-interior.md) - [Color-Blending Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felipe-pantone.md) - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [Dynamic Mathematically Shaped Surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathematically-shaped.md) - [Abstract Geometric Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md)
