When Heroes Become Myth
In The Transfiguration of the first one, Carl Heinrich Bloch’s Transfiguration of Christ is reimagined with Superman, Iron Man and Spider-Man at the centre of the scene. Their presence shifts the original vision of revelation into a contemporary encounter with power, sacrifice and hope.
Part of Crossover: When Pop Culture Meets the Old Masters, the work considers pop culture as a modern mythology. Superheroes inherit the symbolic role once given to saints and biblical figures, carrying familiar ideas of transcendence and redemption into the visual language of today.
