Sorry hero i forgot 

Nyoman Masriadi created this painting, "Sorry hero i forgot", using acrylic on canvas. The figures of Batman and Superman dominate the composition through scale and vibrant color. They are rendered in a hyper-realistic style, their musculature emphasized, yet they sit unglamorously side by side on toilets. The painting's structure creates meaning through juxtaposition. Masriadi uses the visual language of comic books, known for their bold lines and clear narratives, to subvert the heroic image. By placing these figures in a mundane setting, the artist destabilizes their established roles. The juxtaposition of their idealized bodies with their vulnerable posture creates a jarring effect, questioning the very nature of heroism and its perceived infallibility. Note how the artist uses the formal elements to question values and categories, prompting us to reconsider fixed meanings around power and representation.
