Cortellucci | Published 2012-06-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tchmo-lost-children References: [juxtapoz](http://www.juxtapoz.com/Current/the-works-of-tchmo) & [tchmo](http://tchmo.com/lostchildren) The tchmo 'Lost Children' series features breathtaking ethereal captures. The portraits were created by the Australian-born Montreal-based artist tchmo. Though there is not much known about tchmo, the artist directly states, "I mash things up." While this art is something so simple and to the point, tchmo's work goes beyond just mashing things up. These [abstract portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) are fogged with color clouds making them feel as though they are out of dream. It is as if the [childish imaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child) of the young faces in the series are creating these [bold psychedelic patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia) that cover their faces. The portraits are just as mystifying and intriguing as the artist behind them. The rest of tchmo's work is just as captivating as this series, and all the prints are available for purchase online. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Abstract Portraits:** Exploring the use of color clouds and dream-like elements in portraits to create a mystical and captivating aesthetic. - **Psychedelic Art:** Using bold psychedelic patterns to add a sense of intrigue and otherworldliness to artistic creations. - **Mash-up Art:** Incorporating different elements and styles to create unique and thought-provoking artwork. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Art:** Utilizing abstract and psychedelic artistic techniques to create visually stunning pieces that resonate with art enthusiasts. - **Online Art Marketplaces:** Providing a platform for artists like tchmo to showcase and sell their artwork online, making it accessible to a wider audience. - **Art Printing and Reproduction:** Offering services to reproduce and sell prints of unique and captivating artwork, allowing art lovers to own and enjoy these pieces in their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Starry-Eyed Dichroic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starryeyed-dichroic-sculpture.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Spectral Painting-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thomme-collection.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Burgeoning Psychedelic Art Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-art-movement.md)
