FRANCESC RUIZ. IN RESIDENCE at the Doctor Puigvert Secondary School

Drawing Diamonds Project

Thanks to his brother’s hobby, collecting comics, Francesc Ruiz [1] very soon came into contact with the more experimental side of comics written in Barcelona in the 1980s, initiating an early line of work that he would later resume associated with the contemporary art scene, using the comic as a means of expression.

His work is based on the comic as an aesthetic, narrative and intellectual substratum, and also as historical material.
