The fictional ‘Stormtrooper’ from Star Wars is displayed in the Hamilton Princess hotel lobby, created by artist Daniel Arsham using minerals like selenite, blue calcite, and hydrostone.
A spokesperson said, “The fictional ‘Stormtrooper’ soldier made famous in filmmaker George Lucas’ Star Wars movie appears to be standing guard in the left corner of the hotel lobby as you enter the entrance doors.
“The statuesque, bright white and crystallized piece was designed by highly acclaimed artist Daniel Arsham, using minerals such as selenite, blue calcite, and hydrostone.
“Arsham’s collaboration with Star Wars debuted at his exhibitions at Perrotin Galleries in New York and Paris in 2023. The ‘Stormtrooper’ was a part of a series of Star Wars pop culture icons, including C-3PO and R2-D2.
“Hamilton Princess’ art collection houses several other Arsham works of art, including Bronze Eroded Astronaut mounted in June in the hotel’s front garden, and Large Wrapped Animal [Blue], placed in the hotel’s Retail Arcade in 2023.”
