Arsham, Daniel | Eroded Delorean (white), 2021 — available on Composition Gallery

Resin, Plaster and Aluminium Oxide - Unsigned

Daniel Arsham’s Eroded DeLorean (White) (2021) is a mixed media sculpture that reimagines the iconic DeLorean, a car made famous by its appearance in the Back to the Future film series. Crafted from resin, plaster, and aluminum oxide, the car is depicted in a state of erosion, with portions of its sleek frame worn and decayed, as if discovered in a future archaeological dig. The gull-wing doors are open, adding to the dynamic and futuristic feel of the piece. Arsham’s signature technique of transforming familiar objects into relics of the future invites contemplation on the passage of time, memory, and the fleeting nature of cultural icons. This limited edition work combines nostalgia with a sense of decay, capturing the ephemeral nature of technology and innovation.

Daniel Arsham (USA, 1980) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends sculpture, architecture, and performance to explore themes of time, decay, and nostalgia. Known for his 'fictional archaeology' approach, Arsham creates eroded objects like phones and cameras, reimagining them as artifacts. His innovative practice bridges contemporary art and design, captivating audiences worldwide.
