Herbert Siguenza Unveils Eyes of Picasso Mural in Barrio Logan 3/27

Actor/artist HERBERT SIGUENZA will be taking a break from SAN DIEGO REPERTORY THEATRE's workshop production of A WEEKEND WITH PABLO PICASSO to celebrate the unveiling of a historical mural in Barrio Logan. In 1973, artist MARIO TORERO inherited a black and white photo of Pablo Picasso from Maestro David Douglas Duncan. Torero stylized the image and brought it to life in full color by painting it on the wall of the Community Arts Building in the Gaslamp District. The building was later demolished to make room for Horton Plaza. In 2005, Torero and his group of artivistas began painting a series of murals on Logan Avenue from 16th Avenue to 26th Avenue. On Saturday, March 27, 2010, they will be unveiling a re-creation of the "Eyes of Picasso" mural on the side of "Lucky's Market" in Barrio Logan, immediately following the Cesar Chavez Parade. To commemorate this historical event, HERBERT SIGUENZA will be attending the festivities in full costume as legendary Pablo Picasso.
