Using acrylic and spray paint on a 112 cm x 35 cm board, this series is absolutely beautiful and creates a surreal story in one’s mind. Cassiem's intrigue for the human form is clear, as he uses this series to unveil another side of the [human body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice) in a very unique and creative way. This is Rayaan's first solo exhibition titled 'Intrinsic,' and he has done a great job. The art series opened at The Black Box Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa on 1 August 2013, and is currently on display and available on request on the Black Box Gallery website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Surreal Anatomy Art:** Artists can explore the human body in unique and creative ways to create surreal and visually captivating artwork. - **Acrylic and Spray Paint Mediums:** Exploration of unconventional mediums can lead to unique artistic expressions and styles. - **Solo Art Exhibitions:** Solo exhibitions can provide artists with the opportunity to showcase their work, gain recognition and build a following. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Innovations in art materials and styles can revolutionize the industry and provide new pathways for artistic expression. - **Entertainment:** Art exhibitions and installations can provide a unique source of entertainment for individuals, groups, and events. - **E-commerce:** Online marketplaces and galleries can connect artists with a global audience and facilitate the sale and distribution of their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Medicine-Inspired Artful Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-the-pain.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md)
