U.S. National Tour 2016 – 2018.
Mike Alcantara, Batman, collage, 12 x 24 inches
My Hero presents a sprawling collection of 50-75 international artworks that explore iconic superhero imagery, along with reimagined interpretations of our classic heroes. The artists in the exhibition both pay homage to these universal idols, and also present critical questions about their popularity and God-like stature. Some artists in the exhibition also spin the fantasy further by imagining the hero as a child, as an aging being, and even as an animal. The variety of interpretations in My Hero is vast and challenging, dark and humorous, familiar yet new.
Exhibition Artists: Mike Alcantara, Katherine Bradford, Robert Xavier Burden, Enrique Chagoya, Sandra Chevrier, Andreas Englund, Jeremy Fisher, Graham Kirk, Benoit Laprey, Simon Monk, Mark Newport, Mel Ramos, Lizabeth Eva Rossof, Steve Seeley, Inez Storer, Mark Todd, Adrian Tranquilli, Jason Yarmosky, and many others.
