Next he takes thousands of photos of his subjects and covers the life-sized sculptures with them, producing truly unique and [surreal pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). His photo mosaic scultpures resemble their human inspirations in image, size, and shape. As a side note, the band, Keane, recently had their “likenesses” done for the cover of their new album, Perfect Symmetry. **Implications** - XX With a title like Perfect Symmetry you can bet this band's album is nothing short of perfection. IN fact, these [photo mosaic statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art) are actually a reflection of just how talented the band Keane really is. Korean artist, Osang Gwon and Keane seem like the perfect collaboration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Photo Mosaic Sculptures:** Creating unique and surreal artworks by covering plaster sculptures with thousands of photos. - **Human-inspired Art:** Producing life-sized sculptures that resemble their human inspirations in image, size, and shape. - **Collaborative Art Projects:** Exploring collaborative opportunities for artists and musicians to create innovative and visually stunning works. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** The art industry can embrace the use of photo mosaics to create visually striking sculptures and expand the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Music and Entertainment:** The music industry can collaborate with artists to create album covers and visual representations of their music, attracting more attention and engagement from fans. - **Digital Technology:** The digital technology industry can develop innovative tools and techniques for creating photo mosaics, enabling artists to push the boundaries of their craft even further. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Resin Hand-Painted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snh003.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Monochromatic Bronze Art Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evgen-copi-gorisek.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md)
