# Thermal Chromatic Photography Xavier Segers Tributes Yves Klein with this Naughty Photography By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-13 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xavier-segers References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32413/) & [thelastdodo.be](http://www.thelastdodo.be/yk.html) Xavier Segers has created a tribute to Yves Klein by mirroring the type of art, but in reverse. Segers has taken models and painted their bodies different colors and to get the chromatic thermal effect, the artist makes the models press up against a wall. The shapes that result are pretty interesting, looking a bit like a distorted Mickey Mouse. I really enjoy looking at these photographs. They're not only visually beautiful, but they're interesting and not your average typical photographic artwork. Xavier Segers has quite the imagination. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reverse Chromatic Art:** Exploring the opposite approach to traditional chromatic art, creating unusual and visually intriguing effects. - **Thermal Body Painting:** Using heat-sensitive paint to create temporary and dynamic visual effects on the human body. - **Distorted Portraiture:** Experimenting with unconventional techniques to create distorted and unique portrayals of subjects. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Photography:** Opportunities for artists and photographers to push boundaries and innovate through unconventional techniques and materials. - **Fashion and Beauty:** Exploring the use of heat-sensitive paints and color-changing materials in fashion and beauty applications. - **Entertainment and Performance:** Creating visually stunning and captivating performances using thermal body painting techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Touch-Activated Color-Changing Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pangolin.md) - [Artistic UV-Reactive Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polychromatic-mobile-phone.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Color-Blending Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felipe-pantone.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [High-Frequency Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md)
