Daniel Arsham - World's Most Famous Colorblind Artist

Daniel Arsham Became One of Today’s Most Important Artists by Showing Our Destroyed Future.


Arsham’s multidisciplinary art combines art, architecture and performance. Raised in Miami, Florida, Arsham attended the Cooper Union in New York City where he received the Gelman Trust Fellowship Award in 2003.


Soon thereafter he was invited to create stage design and tour with choreographer Merce Cunningham’s Dance Company leading to ongoing stage design practice and a sustained collaboration with choreographer and former Cunningham dancer, Jonah Boaker.

Arsham founded Snarkitecture with partner Alex Mustonen in 2007. The architecture collaboration has included work with fashion brands, interior and architectural design, and a complete line of functional design objects.


In 2014 Arsham’s, Films of the Future was born. This production company synthesizes all of Arsham’s creative output over the last decade and creates a visual setting in which his otherworldly and futuristic artwork might exist.

Arsham’s work has been shown at PS1 in New York, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, The Athens Bienniale in Athens, Greece, The New Museum In New York, Mills College Art Museum in Oakland, Cincinnati CAC, SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah GA, California and Carré d’Art de Nîmes, France among others.

In 2017, he was named to HypeBeast's HB100 list for their top 100 influencers in the industry.


Daniel Arsham came to consider negative space a design choice — where one could create the illusion of an object through hollowness. The precision of architecture could be disrupted with subtle yet bemusing changes. Arsham imagined that walls could sway and melt into neighboring objects, that they could disappear and warp into other bodies or natural structures. As he put it, he was “making architecture do things it is not supposed to do.”

Arsham’s colorblindness was another influence. He can see approximately 20 percent of the colors and shades a person can normally distinguish, and this altered perception of the world is the reason much of his work has been in shades of white or gray.

Daniel Arsham’s biggest moment in fashion so far came when Kim Jones enlisted him to work on Dior Men’s Spring/Summer 2020 show in Paris. Arsham brought his “Future Relic” aesthetic to the brand, including a plaster recreation of Christian Dior’s office, complete with a hung hat and trench coat, telephone, and desk. “It’s been calcified in my process,” Arsham explained at the time. “It’s kind of this perfect relic of that moment in time.”

Daniel Arsham’s work is a stunning reminder that art transcends limitations, turning challenges into unique perspectives. Inspired by his creativity, exploring hair coloring for women could be a fun way to add a personal artistic touch to your look!
