We Really Need A Hero was created at a time when the world felt like it was closing in—when the question wasn’t abstract, but immediate: where are the people willing to step up?
Built in the language of Color Plane painting, and influenced by artists like Mark Rothko and Martha Meyers, this piece moves beyond atmosphere into urgency. The layered bands and distressed surface hold tension—something unsettled, unresolved.
This isn’t about a single, larger-than-life savior. It’s a reminder: we don’t just need heroes in history books—we need them in everyday moments. Quiet ones. Unseen ones. The kind that show up at just the right time.
Because the truth is, we still need one.
We Really Need A Hero comes in a black frame with a gold inner frame.
