# Dead Tree Corpse Captures Artist Never2501 Makes a Compelling Corpse of Dead Leaves and Trees By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-03-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-photography References: [sweet-station](http://sweet-station.com/blog/2013/02/never2501/) & [2501.org.uk](http://www.2501.org.uk/) Usually when somebody talks about tree photography, they're about to show you vibrant, leafy, green-filled images that show you the majestic power and beauty of nature. That's apparently not how Italian street artist Never2501 rolls. This compelling gallery by Never2501 features muted grays and browns and features a humanoid corpse put together out of nothing but dead trees, roots, grubs and branches. There were no screws or external tools used to create the corpse. The disturbing atmosphere of the gallery is accented by the autumn-assisted carpet of dead leaves, the Gothic architecture and sprawling staircase that the corpse's head is lying on. Tree photography doesn't come much more morbid and depressing than this album, and I have a feeling that's the exact vibe that Never2501 was going for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Morbid Tree Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new and unconventional ways to capture the beauty of nature through dark and unsettling imagery. - **Natural Material Sculptures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Using organic materials like dead trees and branches to create unique and thought-provoking sculptures. - **Gothic Art Influences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating elements of gothic architecture and atmosphere into contemporary art, blurring the lines between traditional and modern aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pushing the boundaries of traditional art mediums and techniques by using unconventional materials and themes. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new and innovative approaches to capturing and presenting the natural world, challenging traditional concepts of beauty. - **Sculpture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experimenting with sustainable and eco-friendly materials to create provocative and impactful sculptures that provoke thought and reflection. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Playable Oak Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funeral-for-a-tree.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Pixelated Photographed Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-trees.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Monolithic Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conversation-with-trees.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md)
