New Exhibit: Your Favorite Superhoeroes Reimagined

Mike Alcantara, Spider-Man, Collage, 2015

By Archana Ram

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… an artistic interpretation of our favorite superheroes! My Hero: Contemporary Art & Superhero Action opens May 21 at Escondido’s California Center for the Arts, with mixed media pieces of Batman and other pop culture idols reimagined. Brooklyn-based artist Dulce Pinzon, for example, created photographs depicting the lives of immigrants as society’s “real superheroes,” with images of Catwoman as a nanny and Superman delivering pizzas. In Spider-Man (above), Mike Alcantara used an X-Acto knife to create a collage of upcycled comics. The result? A new comic within a comic. Our Spidey senses are tingling.

Through August 14, 340 North Escondido Boulevard, Escondido
