The creative centre Las Cosas de Martínez, just around the corner from Pl. Vila de Gràcia, is presenting the exhibition ‘Barcelona Ilustrada’, whereby 30 illustrators show their vision of the city. The exhibition is on until 17 January.

The new exhibition at Las Cosas de Martínez, at C/ Diluvi 5, is the second in a series of four which are based on Barcelona. The display is entitled ‘Barcelona Ilustrada’ and includes the creations of 30 artists from around the world who have drawn what they see in the city. The common thread is that all the drawings are inspired by the Catalan capital.

All sorts of illustrations are on display, ranging from those created using digital techniques to watercolours, pencil sketches or screen printing. The artists have also shown different sides to the city. Some opted for the typical Barcelona aesthetics, with characteristic features and emblematic buildings, while others chose to create more critical or challenging illustrations, with humour also present.

‘Barcelona Ilustrada’ shows 30 very different visions of the city, which between them portray an original, diverse and different Barcelona. The exhibition is on until 17 January and is a good chance to enjoy genuine art and the city all at the same time.
