# Intricate Paper Graffiti The Street Artist Rubbish Uses Other People's Garbage to Make Fine Art By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-artist-rubbish References: [brooklynstreetart](http://www.brooklynstreetart.com/theblog/) & [rubbish-cube.blogspot.fr](http://rubbish-cube.blogspot.fr/) Parisian street artist Rubbish uses other people's throwaway items to create intricate paper stenciled art. The artist is said to work hours on end crafting and slicing out designs and wall murals from [scrap paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst) to use in his graffiti. The stencils in our images are cut as fine as a piece of lace and when sprayed over, leave a stunning delicate effect not usually seen in the world of graffiti. The Frenchman, who hails from Besançon says is influenced by "the great painters, mythology and art nouveau." The talented artist often sprays literary heros from the Beat Generation into his work like Allen Ginesberg, Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Although the artist hasn't been around that long, I'm sure it won't be long before he catches up with his contemporaries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Paper Stenciled Art:** Opportunity for artistic innovation using recycled materials. - **Delicate Graffiti:** Opportunity for street art to incorporate intricate and delicate designs. - **Literary Influences in Street Art:** Opportunity for street artists to pay homage to literary icons in their work. ### Where This Applies - **Recycling and Waste Management:** Opportunity for companies to partner with artists to promote creative reuse of waste materials. - **Street Art and Graffiti:** Opportunity for artists and businesses to collaborate on public art projects that push creative boundaries. - **Fine Art and Galleries:** Opportunity for galleries to showcase street artists using unconventional materials and techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Provoking Graffiti Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-ruggeri.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md)
