Francesc Artigau is a painter, draughtsman and engraver, set within the North American avant-garde currents that came, in the sixties, to replace the traditional dependency on Parisian and European events. His early work reflects the impact of North American pop art adapting its classic myths and iconographic elements to a caustic language, with an ironic and burlesque background. In recent years his artwork reveals a personal debate between intuition and reason, scepticism and passion, reflection and immediacy, and linear rigour and chromatic sensuality. In 1965, he received an honourable mention at the III Bienal de Zaragoza, and was awarded the Premi of Ajuntament de Terrassa in 1967 and the Premi de la Ciutat de l’Hospitalet in 1968.
