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. Is not in ponds, or valleys, if not in the streets of cities around every corner, on a beach, a beer or a laundry. 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
acids and filled with irony in which Alvarez Cabrero unleashes his personal creativity as it did with 'Carapijo' controversial grounds that picture on the board and shocked many by its explicit images.
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. Writers and stories

Each image, a work of art, is also accompanied allusive stories and for them the editor Fermin Santos ordered the signatures of some of the most prominent authors such as Asturias José Luis Pike, who dedicates his story to the Marin home or Fueyo Pelayo who writes about busgosu.
