Super thinker:
Superman in the pose of Rodin's statue The Thinker outside the headquarters of Bancolombia in Medellín.
I'm not quite sure about the intention of the statue as in the UK it would probably be considered an ironic take on the stereotype of the financial whiz kid and unfortunately I found it on the weekend so there was no-one around to ask.
However, popular culture is well represented in serious art here, in a large part due to the influence of Medellín's most famous artist, the painter and sculptor Fernando Botero.
