This exhibition, organized by Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, California, presents a sprawling collection of international artworks in a variety of media that celebrates and reenvisions the lives of iconic superheroes.
Experience the escapades of iconic superheroes with this pumped-up collection of international artworks. As contemporary idols, superheroes provide a rich source of inspiration for artists around the world. "My Hero!" celebrates and re-envisions the possibilities that exist when you have a magic cape, lasso or some superhuman power that changes everything.
For decades, artists have tapped the world of the superhero, eager to explore the alluring concept of what it means to have an avatar. We鈥檙e captivated by miraculous, superhuman strength, startling bravery, the enthralling adventures and even their weaknesses. A number of artists are also asking: What happens when Superman gets old and checks into Assisted Living? What does he look like and what鈥檚 he up to?
