The Chicago-based Tom Fedro creates his art with big features and bold colors in pop art style with a bit of exaggeration on a common theme of abstract eyes. Tom Fedro of Fido Studio has had his artwork exhibited in galleries in the U.S. and Europe; recent special projects include pieces commissioned for the [Broadway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threetower-mixeduse-development) show "Rent," Sweet Riot Candy Co., Hotel Allegro in Chicago, and Washburn Guitars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 54% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pop Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore digital platforms and technologies to create interactive and customizable pop art experiences for patrons. - **Whimsical Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine augmented reality and immersive technologies to bring whimsical art to life and enhance the viewer's experience. - **Abstract Eyes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze and interpret abstract eye patterns, opening up new possibilities in psychology and diagnostics. ### Where This Applies - **Art Galleries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate blockchain technology to enhance authenticity, provenance, and ownership tracking of artwork in galleries. - **Digital Art Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop decentralized platforms leveraging blockchain and smart contracts to empower artists to sell their digital art directly to consumers, revolutionizing the art market. - **Augmented Reality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists to create immersive AR experiences, allowing viewers to interact with and explore art in new and exciting ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Playful Modern Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime.md) - [Abstract Toronto Home Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elte-fine-art.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Bi-Culture-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicultureinspired-art-exhibition.md) - [Whimsically Vibrant Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama.md)
