A new art exhibition in San Juan, Puerto Rico, pays tribute to Bad Bunny, featuring works by 32 artists that explore his cultural impact. The show, titled 'Benito 100 x 35,' opened at i AM art Gallery just two days before the singer's concerts in Puerto Rico, closing his international tour.
Curator Ángel Mathieu, founder of i AM art Gallery, conceived the exhibition after attending one of Bad Bunny's concerts at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The display includes iconic wooden chairs from the album cover of 'Debí tirar más fotos,' paintings, sculptures, and holograms.
Among the pieces, a text by veteran actor Jacobo Morales, who starred in the short film 'Debí tirar más fotos,' greets visitors. Spanish artist Luis Ivorra created four ceramic sculptures of personified rabbits holding plantains and crabs, referencing Bad Bunny's co-ownership of the Cangrejeros de Santurce basketball team.
Ivorra notes that the rabbit is a disguise, as Bad Bunny started his career wearing a rabbit costume. Other artists include Omar Ortiz, who carved life-size wooden chairs from the album cover, and Grisselle Soto, whose triptych 'Siempre Fui Yo' depicts Benito with the Sapo Concho and Jacobo Morales in Vega Baja.
