Daniel Arsham has got it covered… literally. The Cleveland born artist creates sculptures that look illogically surreal, but oddly realistic. Arsham’s pieces seem to melt into the gallery, thus making the wall itself into a canvas. It can’t be rather disorienting–you can’t whether the person or object is trapped in a vat of glue or tangled in a huge white sheet.
