# Splatter Home Decals Special Effects for Common People by Igor Eskinja Relies on Optical Illusions By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-effects-for-common-people References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2013/05/23/igor-eskinja-creates-optical-illusions-with-simple-materials/) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/igoreskinja/with/5165806085/) Relying heavily on optical illusions, the Special Effects for Common People art exhibit imbues a bit of playfulness that will astound the everyday person. It is targeting the average folk, after all. The title aside, the art show focuses on classic pieces of furniture used on a daily basis such as couches, ladders and chairs. Put together by Croatian artist Igor Eskinja, the Special Effects for Common People art exhibit is in line with his [past work](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-side). At once simple and mind-boggling, he uses basic materials to mesmerize his audience. In this case, he uses decals that extend beyond the wall onto the surface of the furniture themselves. The result is three dimensional, as though the scenes were pulled straight from a comic book. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Optical Illusion Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of optical illusions in various art forms to captivate and engage audiences. - **Interactive Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create furniture pieces that incorporate interactive elements to enhance the user's experience and add a touch of playfulness. - **Decal-based Art Installations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new methods of using decals to transform everyday objects into visually stunning and immersive art installations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Exhibits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative exhibition concepts that challenge traditional notions of art and engage a wider audience. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the integration of art and design in furniture manufacturing to create unique and visually appealing products. - **Visual Arts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Push the boundaries of traditional visual arts by experimenting with new techniques and materials, such as decals, to create captivating and immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Dynamic Joint Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-sit-for-the-alternate-ending.md) - [Dynamic Moving-Illusion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture.md) - [Optical Illusion Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-3d-carpet.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Colour Shift Clear Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-roller.md)
