# Immoral Artography A Modern Take on the Seven Sins by Anne Smolders By Jessica Marcel | Published 2009-11-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seven-sins References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/profile/Anne-S..html?PHPSESSID=h4e6j5fsmg8ud5o9cmaio3ahb2) & [annemaakt.nl](http://www.annemaakt.nl/index.php?page=zonde) Dutch artist Anne Smolders has elegantly recreated the seven sins in her [photographic series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) of Modern Sinners. Each photograph focuses on one of the sins, with perfectly coifed models styled in paper and magazines. The seven sins series is a modern take on lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Take a look through the gallery and see if you can identify the photo that corresponds to each of the seven sins. **Implications** - This Anne Smolders creation is particularly potent at a time like we're living now, an age of [political and economic unrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection) and turmoil. This has led some politicians, members of the public, and celebrities to ratchet up their [beauty obsession](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divine-skintervention), avarice, and gluttony -- but thanks to artistic photographs and discussions like this, we are cognizant of this action. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Sinners:** Incorporating modern themes into classic concepts like the seven sins in art can create new types of art that appeal to a younger generation. - **Beauty and Obsession:** Artistic photographs and discussions about beauty and obsession can raise awareness about these issues and potentially lead to new products or solutions to address them. - **Political and Economic Unease:** Art can provide a way to address and confront the difficult emotions and issues related to political and economic unrest and offer new perspectives and solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Incorporating modern themes into classic concepts like the seven sins in art can create new types of art that appeal to a younger generation. - **Beauty and Fashion:** Artistic photographs and discussions about beauty and obsession can potentially inspire new fashion or beauty products, or even new marketing approaches for existing ones. - **Mental Health:** Art can provide a way to address and confront difficult emotions and issues related to political and economic unrest, potentially inspiring new approaches to mental health and wellness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vice-Inspired IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-ipa.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md)
