A underground urban mythology
The artist Alvarez Cabrero and twelve writers Asturian myths updated in a publishing initiative that merges visual arts and literature. GEA JC

Memory plays strange past. Even the collective. Fermin Santos succeeded him in a few months ago library of Madrid, where he met one of their shelves with a neat edition on Asturian mythology so far unknown. thirteen representations were fabulous beings removed from the dark background that has populated the popular imagination since the dawn of Asturian history, but attired in traditional costumes. Leafing through the book, something was removed within the artist, writer and editor Spaniard, who could not help wondering what had made the modernization of its territory xanas, busgosos, Guestier and cuélebre, or where would arise now or what would today aspect. Not going to be disappointed. But it would be he who answered. Making use of his prerogatives as chief editor and Pata Negra, a veteran and risky initiative that blends art and literature in editions kept engraving made contact with the artist Oviedo Jose Carlos Alvarez Cabrero and made a request. One of those who always take a contrapié.

"I want to do a folder on Asturian mythology. I do not want the typical image, but with your own vision. Something modern and street, "said Santos Alvarez Cabrero, recalls the painter, engraver and illustrator, whose urban imaginary, satirical and" underground "is the most isolated of rural, and wild pancéltico imaginable. But apparently, according Fermin Santos, not enough to not close that gap. In the final analysis, literature and art history show that the myths are archetypes and structures with a unique ability to change appearance and packaging adapted to the times and maintain, however, ambiguous substance intact. Death, lust, or animal disease that remains locked in the man remain the same as always in the cities of the XXI. Why patterns that represent all that was not going to be?

Whether or not these reasons, persuaded Santos Alvarez Cabrero and the artist accepted the challenge. "The truth is that they are issues that never interested me, but I took it as an order different from anything I've done so far. Fermín I spent a few texts on the subject, but found no physical descriptions, only vague references and very concerning, "Alvarez Cabrero account, which filed precisely this freedom to move to etching, aquatint and airbrush to twelve of the most emblematic Asturian pantheon to this crappy, crazy and so bleak and urban slyly as any work of the Spaniard.

Thus, it appears as an oppressive Nuberu allegory of "those days" says the author, in which the sky is heavy and drowns you. " Or Guestier longer a parade of lost souls to incarnate -Is a mean, in those other lost souls that even the eyes of a horse and attached to a carton of Don Simon tour the city parks. For Alvarez Cabrero, Malin, mythological personification of the disease, arises from the mouth of "a guy hanging from drugs and alcohol" that have their buzz, and no custody Cuélebre to Xana, but that drool for her, represented as a sexual tipa take up arms. The Man Marin pedreru looks after like a voyeur on the beach, the Pataro spread panic in the wall of San Lorenzo de Gijón and Guaxa is an old woman, flaunting her single tooth, which aims both to explain a traffic accident . Regarding the werewolf or Busgosu is seem quite the disrespectful Bocer that Gallea to the girls in the disco or sing your deeds venereal winch bar.

Like most adventures of Pata Negra, the artist has not been alone. Fermin Santos has joined the reform contemporary Asturian mythology twelve writers from the land: Pablo Álvarez, Inés Toledo, Ana Vega, David SG, Javier F. Granda, José Luis Piquero, Néstor Villazón, Elisa Torreira, Alejandro Sirvent, Fatima Fernandez Mendez, Herme G. Fueyo Donis y Pelayo, who have put their hand in this new setting the imagination of the Asturian mythology. In all cases, except in the case of Granda, had already adapted their vision of a coven Comadres party with boys-session, the authors have worked on the pictures Álvarez Cabrero.

The result of urban re-foundation of this catalog of fantastic beings has resulted in a proper issue is on sale since last week: a case-book artist, 75 numbered and signed by the twelve original prints texts. Alternatively, the box has been cast again elusive and expensive neighbors to see, but they are reluctant to leave their land altogether.

A busgosu of the Boston Celtics, a Trasgu with a T-shirt that reads 'Bad Boy', a xana with thong ... The artist Carlos Alvarez Cabrero has been able to update the Asturian mythology. Translated as guaxa dark beings, magic and witches and their covens, eavesdroppers like Marin home or mocking as the current images diañu to demystify the myth. But "no been easy, "says the writer when asked about a job that is now part of the book-box 'Asturian Mythology." A chest scrim and exquisite finish, edited by Pata Negra firm, led by Fermin Santos, which are treasured twelve etchings and aquatints accompanied by many other texts of contemporary authors, stories that start from where the artist image environmental mythological characters.

Scenarios, all of them, in which the artist moves easily Oviedo unmistakable style and 'underground'.
"When the editor asked me to bring my work mythological creatures seemed complicated, first because it is a topic not usually work, and then, because the documentation is about the myths the same character is never described the same way. The images that we know of these things are what made other artists and these, in turn, imitated other images of Europeans, so I decided to modernize them according to my own ideas. "
Thus the Sabbath is in the eyes of Cabrero a show of 'boys', that sounds like what lies ahead in some gossips dinners, and the image of the Malian comes directly from the mouth of a drunken man lying in the middle of the sidewalk in front of some curious bystanders, but unperturbed.
"Basically I found that image very well reflected the sense that it always gave Mechelen, those characters that are blamed for bringing disease, the evil within us," explains the artist. Drawings

The twelve etchings and aquatints included in "Asturian Mythology" respond to a slow process, the artist took almost a month to make each one of them, with which you get a very painterly image. In addition, mixed aquatint etching with the etching technique can achieve different tones, which would otherwise be impossible to achieve, since the etching itself, only allows a set of lines.
