# Blueprint Automobiles (UPDATE) Shi Jindian Recreates All Kinds of Transportation Using Wires By Corinne Guirgis | Published 2011-06-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shi-jindian1 References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/the-realistic-wire-sculptures-of-shi-jindian.html) & [whiterabbitcollection.org](http://www.whiterabbitcollection.org/artists/shi-jindian/) These recreations of [famous transportation tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-auto-sports) by Shi Jindian are incredible and [life-sized](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesize-lego-technic-mclaren-p1). In a world where most art is computer generated or photoshopped at the very least, handmade pieces are a dime a dozen and reflect real patience, dedication, vision and talent. According to Oddity Central, Jindian's masterpieces start out as steel wrappings around the common objects he’s trying to replicate, and when the work is done, Jindian destroys or somehow extracts the object, leaving only the wire frame. In addition to [automobiles and bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821), the Chinese artist recreates other commonplace objects such as musical instruments. It really is difficult to imagine someone creating such a detailed and accurate representation of such complex objects using something so simple as steel wire, but this is what makes his artworks so mind-blowing and unique. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Handmade Sculpture Art:** Opportunity to invest in and promote artwork that stands out from computer-generated art and photoshopped images. - **Wireframe Art:** Opportunity to experiment with and utilize unconventional materials and techniques in creating art. - **Repurposing Art:** Opportunity to incorporate sustainability and environmental consciousness into art and design by repurposing everyday objects into unique sculptures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Galleries:** Opportunity to showcase and promote handmade sculptures and wireframe art in their galleries. - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunity to collaborate with artists and designers to create unique wireframe automobile designs. - **Music Industry:** Opportunity to collaborate with artists and designers to create unique wireframe musical instrument designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Life-Sized Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benedict-radcliffe-1.md) - [DIY Life-Size Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nd-woodworking-art.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md) - [Insanely Intricate LEGO Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-rollsroyce.md) - [Exploded Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Porsche-911-carrera.md) - [Miniature Art Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Life-Size LEGO Brick Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1950s-cadillac-fleetwood.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Japanese Concept-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniel-arsham-1.md)
