For several years, the artist has been dedicated to topics that are influenced by the [visual culture of Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection) and Hollywood symbols. In 2011, Marussiac presented an interesting feature about Spiderman and his secretive life. The main theme here is a series of images that takes place at pedestrian crossings. Despite the passage of pedestrians, each comes to be known as characters such as: Hulk, [Captain America, Batman or Spiderman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-hungry-for-heroes). Going through the pedestrian crossing is not easy, and neither is moving smoothly through life. Anything can happen: it may die and nearly destruct a famous movie hero. The point is the question “Why is a series of artwork called 'Jesus Saves-CROSSWALK?' The answer is simple. As at present, often people do not see the difference between faith in God and superhero. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Superhero Art:** The increasing popularity of superhero themed art presents an opportunity for artists and galleries to innovate in their designs and presentation to stand out in a crowded market. - **Questioning Faith Vs.
