This Californian artist has always been fascinated by the pace with which we, as humans, have developed our modern lifestyles. His imagination stems from the social media world, the latest technological achievements, innovative filmography, and much more. He made himself known through social networks, where he brightens everyone’s day up with his colorful, vivid images with funny and provocative content that resembles a child’s world. 

To construct his images, Ali uses all popular stereotypes from the web and widely recognized symbols such as likes and emojis. At first glance, this pop universe looks funny and innocent, but in reality, it’s a weird, crazy world where the tragic and the obscene are represented with humor against a joyful background. 

Ali tells us the story of a society that is obsessed with and dependent on the internet and smartphones, while also reminding us just how much we crave the approval from others.

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.
