Based in a 200-year-old French studio known for reproducing famous pieces of art, the artist was working on this project for about a year, gathering molds and scans of busts, sculptures and friezes and sculpting. “Making use of classical and ancient objects, this new body of work experiments with the timelessness of certain symbols,” Perrotin explained.

Each iconic European sculpture is surrounded by various graphite drawings representing the artist’s process in order to “compress time, at once referencing the past, informing the present, and reaching towards a crystallized future.”

Arsham combines spaces and objects using geological materials such as sand, volcanic ash, selenite, rose quartz, obsidian, and glacial rocks to make his art pieces look like they are somehow disrupted or buried somewhere for eternity. 

Satire and history are what defines Arsham work, together with the idea of reinterpreting materials and structures to present a one-of-a-kind piece that astounds audiences. The concept behind his art is emphasized by ‘fictional archaeology’, so he takes objects from contemporary life and pop culture and situates them in a setting that turns them into precious artifacts discovered on some long-forgotten archaeological site.  

Daniel Arsham is a well-known artist with a global reputation that has been a part of a wide number of solo and group exhibitions across the world, including Paris, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Seoul, Sao Paulo, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and London. He is no stranger to commercial art, too, having collaborated with music stars like Pharrell Williams and megabrands like Adidas.
