Artist Urs Fischer’s upcoming show at Paris gallery Gagosian will feature Leo DiCaprio — in the form of a giant candle.

ArtNews reports that the show, titled “Leo,” will most likely be a wax candle of the actor, though sources wouldn’t confirm.

Fischer has also made life-size candles of artist Julian Schnabel, art collector Peter Brant and art collector Dasha Zhukova. Fischer burns the works over the duration of the show. The exhibit opens Oct. 14.

Fischer has auctioned off other pieces of work for DiCaprio’s environmental foundation, with a piece in 2017 netting $2.5 million.
