Hollow Optical Illusion Sculptures

Daniel Arsham Releases the First Piece of His Hollow Figures

— November 27, 2018 — Art & Design
Daniel Arsham unveils the first figurine of his 'Hollow Figures' series designed for his label 'Arsham Studio.' The piece is inspired by the designer's 'Architectural Anomalies' installation and like the name of the series, it boasts a hollow interior. From the front of the all-white sculpture, it appears to be a human covered in a flowing fabric material, but it is completely empty from the opposite perspective.

This figure has been created in many sizes by Arsham, now scaled down to be suitable for more decorative purposes. He experimented with different sizes using augmented reality. The inaugural piece of the Hollow Figures series is set to drop on December 3rd online at Daniel Arsham

2. Augmented Reality for Design - Augmented reality is becoming an increasingly popular tool for designers to experiment with different sizes and scales of their creations, allowing for new levels of customization and visualization.
3. Deceptive Art - The rise of deceptive art, where illusions and paradoxes are used to create intriguing visual effects, is an opportunity for artists and designers to create unique and thought-provoking pieces that challenge the viewer's perceptions.
Industry Implications
