A new Colombian bar and restaurant is opening in Osaka and the owner wants the theme to be of Macondo, the fictional town in Gabriel García Márquez’s most famous novel, “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” Osaka-based American artist DAAS, has been commissioned to paint a portrait of the beloved novelist.
Featured below are some photos to share the perspective and to show the mural’s urban surroundings. You can see that by the end, butterflies have been added to the overall aesthetic. All that is required of the artist now is a bit of ‘fine-tuning,’ but for the most part, this is what it will look like:
“It’s enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.” ― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
“Things have a life of their own,” the gypsy proclaimed with a harsh accent. “It’s simply a matter of waking up their souls.” ― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
It isn’t named yet, but it’s going to be a cafe in the day, bar and restaurant at night, and a 24/7 hostel. I expect it will be a very cool place. Address near: 3 Chome 1-23 Shiokusa, Naniwa-ku, Osaka-shi 556-0024. Opening date: TBD. Thanks for stopping by my blog, and have a great weekend !
