Adrian Tranquilli: Heroes

Sure they're heroes. But are they super? Heroes presents the work of Adrian Tranquilli, one of the most interesting artists on the Italian contemporary art scene. Tranquilli's work is a re-creation of images from different contexts, an original and poetic universe of signs that emphasizes the state of emergency of contemporary society's cultural models. Christ is lying, crucified, with Batman's symbol blazing across his chest. And Yoda, of Star Wars fame, is dressed exactly like the Pope.David Aaron is the author of 'Adrian Tranquilli: Heroes', published 2005 under ISBN 9788888493305 and ISBN 8888493301.
