Oh My God…
For its upcoming show at London’s Kemistry Gallery, Barcelona consultancy Hey Studio has mined the fertile territory of Greek mythology.
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and the rest of the gang are all rendered as simple cartoon characters for touring show Oh My God, which has already had a stint in Spain.
There are also cameos from snake-haired Medusa and the bull-headed Minotaur.
The style is reminiscent of children’s superhero cartoons, something that Hey Studio alludes to.
The consultancy says, ‘In Ancient Greece they had something better than superheroes, they had gods – each with their own powers, weaknesses, history and followers.’
Hey Studio has created a series of new characters for the Kemistry Gallery exhibition, and prints and posters will be available at the show.
Oh My God is at Kemistry Gallery, 43 Charlotte Road, London EC2A, from 1 August-14 September
