Super Mario Oddities

The Passion of the Plumber
Earlier this year, Polish artist Kordian Lewandowski created this dramatic (and possibly sacrilegious) Mario-themed sculpture, titled “Game Over,” out of polystyrene foam. In this towering work, which stands over six feet tall, a mournful Princess Peach cradles a dying Mario. It was inspired by Michelangelo’s Pietà , a masterpiece of sculpture from 1499 that depicts the body of Jesus in Mary’s arms.
It may not find a place in St. Peter’s Basilica like Michelangelo’s work, but it’s still a thought-provoking work of ironic pop art.
