The world of Pep Montserrat at the Urgell Civic Centre
A journey through the work of one of the great names in Catalan illustration, awarded this year with the National Illustration Award.
The Urgell Civic Center opens its doors to the universe of Pep Montserrat , one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Catalan illustration. The artist is the star of an exhibition that covers the most significant moments of his career, from his earliest works to his most recent creations.
The exhibition, which can be visited until July 18, offers a broad and detailed look at Montserrat's work, with selected pieces that demonstrate the evolution of her visual language and her creative processes. The visitor will find works from various fields - such as books, the press and audiovisual - that allow us to understand the versatility of an author who has been able to adapt to different formats without losing his own voice.
