Inspired Artist

The artist that I found is named Daniel Arsham. Daniel was born in Miami and currently lives in New York. He is a contemporary artist who focuses on the human figure, technological objects, and architecture. Uniquely, he executes 2D (drawings), 3D (sculptures), and 4D (preforming) arts. In most of his material, he depicts erosion, which is interesting when discussing the human figure. Architecture is a prevalent subject throughout his work as well. He is recognized for his creation in the stage design for the Mercy Cunningham Dance Company, which toured in Australia, France, and multiple locations in the United States. I haven't seen a lot of his performance art, but I do find a lot of inspiration in his sculpting. Personally, I love using the human figure as a subject in my art, so seeing such an interesting take on it (the erosion he creates) inspired me to do something different with my own human figures, His website is http://www.danielarsham.com/
