MARION — The Marion Art Center will open a Marvel-themed exhibit titled Thor’s Hammer on Feb. 21. The show will open with an evening reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

The exhibit will combine works by sculptor John Magnan, with art from emerging artists André Olivier and Sarah Swible. Magnan calls the exhibit, “inspired by and based on Marvel Comics imagery,” though he clarifies that knowledge of Marvel comics or movies is not required.

“Each sculpture re-imagines an aspect of Marvel Comics in the context of current issues. The exhibit follows in the Marvel tradition of using fantasy imagery to comment on the human condition and examine some of today’s social challenges,” Magnan said.
