# Saturated Street Art Taylor Gonzales Uses Recognizable Figures in His Sensational Work By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-gonzales References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2011/08/25/fun-pop-art-celebrity-portraits-by-taylor-gonzales/#more-71318) & [taylorgonzales](http://taylorgonzales.com/home.html) Taylor Gonzales is a clever and talented artist that creates stencils out of the pop icons. The face of each icon is slightly distorted by over-saturation and all the heads are on wood backgrounds. Taylor Gonzales has created some contemporary street art that is certainly a product and reflection of its time. I will certainly be keeping my eye out for any future work by this emerging artist with a penchant for pop. **Implications** - Youth consumers are attracted to representation of popular culture. This affinity towards pop culture stems from viewing it as a product of their time and consequently as an extension of themselves. Companies should tap into this desire and use pop culture references in ad campaigns. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youth Pop Culture:** Companies should tap into the desire of youth consumers for pop culture references in ad campaigns. - **Contemporary Street Art:** There is potential for artists to create innovative street art that reflects the current culture and attracts attention. - **Over-saturation Art:** Artists could explore the use of over-saturation to create visually striking and unique artworks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can incorporate pop culture references to appeal to younger consumers. - **Art:** The art industry can embrace over-saturation techniques to create visually captivating and contemporary artworks. - **Street Art:** Street artists can utilize recognizable figures and over-saturation to create unique and thought-provoking pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Vibrant Pop-Up Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elizabeth-sutton.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Street Art Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieze-los-angeles.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Street Artist Tequila Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gustavo-zermeo-jr.md)
