"The Sins of the Hero" – A Pop Reinterpretation of the Seven Deadly Sins
This series of 7 oil paintings on board, created in May 2014, explores a bold reinterpretation of the classic Seven Deadly Sins through the lens of modern superheroes. Executed with the same color palette and completed simultaneously, these works were first exhibited on just two exclusive occasions before being acquired in full by a discerning collector.
"The Sins of the Hero" quickly garnered critical attention, with features in art magazines, two dedicated catalogs, and countless appreciations from visitors. In essence, the series is a pop reinterpretation of what the deadly sins mean in today’s world. Each sin is paired with a superhero figure, whose persona, in my interpretation, embodies the very essence of that vice—when examined through the lens of contemporary societal values.
I encourage those interested in the deeper meanings behind this collection to read the three critical essays available on my blog, where the concept and significance of each piece are explored in detail. These insightful notes offer a profound understanding of how I have reimagined these age-old vices in relation to modern culture.
Due to popular demand, "The Sins of the Hero" will soon be available as high-quality art prints, allowing a wider audience to experience this provocative and thought-provoking series.
