# Heart-Bearing Metal Fences This Valentine's Day Street Art is Simply Sweet By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-street-art References: [oakoaknalblog](http://oakoak.canalblog.com/archives/p10-10.html) French artist OakOak puts his own twist on Valentine's Day street art with this simple and sweet fence heart. Walking by a chain link fence in February rarely appeals to the romantic in anyone: nor does it seem like a likely canvas for a sweet message. However, OakOak takes pleasure in seeing what others don't see and creating minimalistic masterpieces that provoke questions or shock. In this particular case, OakOak saw the pattern of a heart deep within the chain link fence configuration and decided to draw attention to it. He painted a series of links pink in the shape of a heart and walked away. No elaborate messages, just a simple heart in an unlikely place made of an unlikely material. Did you ever imagine such a romantic chain link fence? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Street Art Reimagined:** There are opportunities for artists to change the way people see everyday objects as canvases and use them as messaging tools. - **Unconventional Materials:** Innovators can look at unconventional materials and surfaces to create unique and visually appealing designs that disrupt the norm. - **Minimalistic Messaging:** There is potential for businesses and individuals to explore the impact of minimalist messaging in advertising and branding efforts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Street Art and Graffiti:** Artists and businesses that leverage street art and graffiti for messaging and branding can explore the use of unconventional materials and minimalistic messaging to stand out from the competition. - **Waste Management and Recycling:** Companies in waste management and recycling can consider repurposed or unconventional materials to make more visually appealing and eco-friendly products. - **Real Estate and Architecture:** Real estate and architecture professionals can leverage street art and visually appealing accents to transform everyday spaces into unique and memorable experiences for tenants and visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Playful Accessory Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentine-collection.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Love-Inspired Miniature Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-in-a-bottle.md) - [Interactive Typo Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveegolov.md) - [Empowering Love-Themed Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-on-lock.md) - [Illuminating Park Installation Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfront-park.md) - [White Heart-Shaped Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdy-2.md) - [Heart-Shaped Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartshaped-jewelry.md)
