Perico Pastor (La Seu d’Urgell, 1953), painter, draughtsman and illustrator, is the author and illustrator of a vibrant and colourful book which leads us through the fascinating district of Poblenou in Barcelona where the artist has his studio. Published by the Ajuntament de Barcelona, El Poblenou torna a ser nou. Quadern de viatge (Poblenou is New Again. A Travel Notebook) is a visual record of the area’s life and landmarks, its historical industrial architecture, its rambla - the social and cultural centre of the district - and even its new creative spaces and its coastline. For three days the Can Framis Museum is hosting a display of work from the publication and offering, on 15 September, an open doors day and a talk by the artist.
