My Hero!
​Contemporary Art & Superhero Action

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. 

The scalable 3,000 square foot exhibition includes a wide array of media, including painting, illustration, photography, sculpture, mixed media and video. Images of select artworks are here.
