Agustin Lucho Pozo’s painting El Hueso Cantor accompanies the Grimms’ fairy tale “The Singing Bone.” This mixed-media piece was created exclusively for the Mirror Mirrored Project by the Chilean artist Pozo (aka Plano Casual). The work is painting and collage on panel and is 30.5 x 58 inches. It has been exhibited at WPA in Washington, DC, the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, New Hampshire, and the Everhart Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

“The Singing Bone” is the story of two brothers who set out to rid the kingdom of a rampaging boar, thus winning the hand of the princess. The younger brother kills the boar, and the older brother kills the younger in order to take the credit. A wandering shepherd one day makes an instrument out of the younger’s bone, which sings the true tale of his demise. Upon taking the singing bone to the king, the older brother is killed and the younger brother’s bones are buried in a beautiful graveyard.
