Although known for his [geometric drawings](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sebastien-preschoux-acrylic-string), which took the art industry by storm of couple of years ago, his latest thread sculptures steal the show. Interacting with nature and abandoned buildings, Sebastien Preschoux's strings line the spaces in a bold and vibrant way. Beautifully graphic, as though created through the use of a computer program, Sebastien Preschoux's [art installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation) create sweeping shapes that transform the environment they are erected in. Nevertheless, he says, "My work is based on the 'not use of the machine' for the realization of all works." Photographer Ludovic le Couster immortalizes the pieces in such a way that they each look to be glowing in the dark. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Intricate String Installations:** Creating intricate string installations that transform spaces and interact with nature and abandoned buildings. - **Geometric Drawings:** Utilizing geometric drawings to create bold and vibrant art installations that appear as if they are glowing in the dark. - **Not Using Machines:** Adopting a 'not use of the machine' approach in the realization of all works, challenging traditional methods of creation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Exploring new possibilities in the art industry through the creation of intricate string installations and geometric drawings. - **Design:** Applying innovative design techniques to transform spaces and create visually captivating installations. - **Photography:** Capturing the beauty and uniqueness of intricate string installations through creative photography techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Stunningly Intricate Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md)
