Daniel Arsham recently announced a collaborative collection with Pokémon and Uniqlo. This marks the visual artist's continued collaboration with The Pokémon Company. It just landed online and is now available to shop.

Arsham made the announcement on Instagram earlier this month, sharing an animated video of Pikachu facing a large Arsham-esque sculpture of himself. "As the first visual artist to be granted access to the Pokémon Archive, my intention with the project was to not only bring the universe of Pokémon and the characters into my work, but to have my work infiltrate the Pokémon universe, as well," he wrote in the caption.

Over the past year, I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with the @pokemon company and the animators from their studio. As the first visual artist to be granted access to the Pokémon Archive, my intention with the project was to not only bring the universe of Pokémon and the characters into my work, but to have my work infiltrate the Pokémon universe, as well. As a part of my collaboration with Pokémon, a collection of designs with @uniqlo and @uniqlo.ut will be releasing April 24th online globally. My studio worked with the design team from the original series to create this animation, even using the real voice of Pikachu. Join me in Kanto over the next year as this special project rolls out. 🧩
