Sculpture, Human figure, 160x150x150cm
A gallery of superheroes, revised and corrected according to a unique interlocking between pop spirit and folk references, Domenico Pellegrino in his sculptural cycle reinvents some famous cartoon characters making life-size characters, colorful stage presence leaded by surprise in a time that becomes the scene of a bizarre fantasy invasion.


Clutches decorative painting borrowed from the traditional Sicilian cart to appear on the skin of the characters, changing their appearance and classified as evidence detectors sense.
Made according to traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation, multi-colored frames - almost classical in intention, in spite of the theme so popular and fun - are modeled on some of palermitan’s accents, certain traits or cultural connotations related to the territory.
In the iconographic details, decorative grafts, especially in some features exaggerated or revised, the superheroes of Pellegrino become warriors or saviors of a real present full of dangers and pitfalls: an updated implementation ironic of that world of paper, plastic or celluloid from which our heroes were born.
