Daniel Arsham

Daniel Arsham is a visual artist who designed crystallized relic sculptures of Star Wars pop culture icons, including C-3PO, R2-D2—his favorite character—and Han Solo frozen in carbonite, in 2023. The statues were produced as white cast resin collectibles in collaboration with Sideshow and Lucasfilm, and took reference from Sideshow's one-to-one scale models. Prior to the collectibles, Arsham had sculpted life-sized versions of Star Wars characters, including R2-D2 C-3PO, and a stormtrooper that debuted at his Perrotin Gallery exhibitions in New York and Paris in September, 2023 using minerals such as amethyst, quartz, blue calcite, selenite, and hydrostone. The sculptor focused on crafting fictional archeological artifacts to explore the concepts of erosion and growth.
