Heroes in Stone: Léo Caillard's classical busts reimagined as superheroes

We're talking Batman, Captain America, Superman, Ironman and Spiderman – it's as though they've saved us from many disaster and now we want to pay tribute to them, so that future generations will know that they existed.

But these aren't actual sculptures; they are photographs that have been digitally retouched and played with to create new imagery that brings together old and new to deliver a contemporary twist on traditional fine art.

Based in Paris, Léo invites us to rediscover and question our social environment with a lightness of touch, humour and sensitivity. Since we discovered his work three years ago, he has also taken up sculpture and contemporary illustration, as well as photography.
