Heroes by Ashkan Honarvar

Norwegian artist Ashkan Honarvar produced this visually arresting series of works that mashes up vintage floral drawings with the violent forms of Marvel Comics characters, abstractedly recomposed so that they’re simply thrusts of graphic energy. The two visual styles are unexpectedly complementary; both are elaborately detailed with ink, and the super-hero imagery is taken from older comic books and have an almost quaint, retro quality that’s embellished by the floral renderings. Occasionally, a stray word balloon will find its way in there, like non sequitur garnishing. Terrific stuff.
