One. Beyonce as painting of the nineteenth century. SPECIAL / Eisen Bernard
- Proposal. It is able to mix paint with music
The artist Eisen Bernanrd ensures that popular culture and art are not quarreling and can even merge
But the young artist has decided to grow the idea that emerged from the magazines and went viral, she says Eisen, are their followers who asked to replace the magazines disks and thus mix the world of pop music with the great masters of painting. Something that at the beginning was a challenge for him, who had already gotten used to the format of magazines. In this new series of montages we are mythical covers as the “White Album” by The Beatles mixed with the work of artist Robert Rauschenberg, “Orange Channel” Frank Ocean embedded in an orange Fernando Botero or components of Sigur Rós (in “MEÐ SUÐ í eYRUM vIÐ sPILUM eNDALAUST”) running cross country for “the world of Cristina” imagined the painter Andrew Wyeth.
But it has also done work we would have never thought that would be part of the same piece, like the mixture to Michael Jackson with Van Gogh, the Doors with Dylan Hopper or a Monet painting. Other surprising mixtures are stuck in a box on the bourgeois life of the late nineteenth century or Prince as a man of the Renaissance Britney Spears.
The Filipino artist says that it does not have mystery, he said “the photography principles are the same as those painting, so everything can be mixed “. Perhaps he does not have mystery. But for the rest is not less than fascinating.

- Teatro Degollado. “The bore of Sayula”
It will be a weekend full of tradition with this painted with dyes legend assembly and mood
“We found a the task of searching the jalisciense literature works containing as staple mood, we realized that although in popular speech humor and albur much handled in literature was practically nonexistent, “says Haro, until they got with the aforementioned text, which was written in 1897 by Theophilus Pedroza.
the founder of the cult band said that as the story is staged one jalisciense people thought the sound was regional. “We chose the traditional mariachi instrumentation, which are two violins, a vihuela, guitarr and guitarrita coup. We also wanted to get away from this method of producing the rock in which we have moved where the voice is really into the mix, we felt that the poem was important enough to get the word out protagonist “.
for that invited opera singers Santiago Fulfilled (tenor), Ricardo Calderon (tenor) and Pepe Quezada (baritone) to participate with musicians Simon Casasola and Gilberto Cervantes (violins), Eugenio Romero (vihuela), Omar Nungaray ( bass guitar) and Gustavo Orozco (Guitar). “The story is about a ghost who is in a cemetery, we wanted to keep away all the clichés about the ghosts, deep voice and all. We invite the tenor Santiago Fulfilled so that the bore has a heavenly voice, humor is the face thread of all this, “said Haro.
About the rotation of the project, which has the support of Culture UdeG through the Department of Music, the artist noted that this will depend on the response from the public have. “If it will not be to the liking of those who come to see her I would be very hesitant to be resubmitted but vice versa, if you and experts like and recommend, probably college proceed to replace it, it is a unique event.”
Gustavo Orozco said the vihuela is considered the mariachi battery, so the merger with opera singers and a video mapping a very interesting result is achieved. “We wrote 26 songs, in June last year started working, compose takes something from you and you’re giving people, are with the excitement of presenting this.”
classical singers on stage
the poem “the bore of Sayula” takes place in a single act of 55 minutes three characters. Ricardo Calderon (Apollonius) stressed that after being in other parts of the country gives them gladly return to his homeland to make a work of this nature. “It’s something new because I have a classical training, to make this type of participation is very funny, entertaining and close to the popular slang, something for which I am happy.”
Santiago Fulfilled, who plays the bore , said the project catches since listening to the assembly. “I really liked the arrangement, it does not feel a merger, but as a genre in itself, you’re listening more open, universal harmonies, talking the bore of Sayula I realized the depths”.
