Illustrator Isa Feu, new portrait for "Barcelona retrats de proximitat" / by Toni Ricart

Isa is a survivor of the Barcelona underground, co-founder of the mythical Tebeos del Rrollo, and regular author of el Víbora.
We've known each other for years now, and she still has the same determined, optimistic and moderately transgressive personality she had when she was young.
We talk about the old days and the work we are doing now, I don't know about you, but I can't stop. I'm doing one project and I'm already thinking about the next one. 
She shows me notebooks full of notes, sketches, and the project she is working on now: a drawn history of the people of Sant Climent de Llobregat.

Isa Feu begins her artistic career as a cartoonist. In 1974 she publishes, together with Pàmies and Roger, De Quomic, el tebeo aristócrata. She is part of the group of Los tebeos del Rrollo (Picadura Selecta, Propaganda Moderna, El Sidecar, A la Calle...) and el Víbora. She has also published in the magazine Cavall Fort.
She has also collaborated as an illustrator in periodical publications (Diario de Barcelona, La Vanguardia Mujer, El Periódico, ROCK IN', Marie-Claire, Vitalidad, Barcelona Metropoli...) and has participated in exhibitions such as Perpetuum Mobile (1984) and Makoki 1977-1987 (Sala Metrònom and itinerant). In 1989, she exhibits her pictorial works at Piscolabis (Barcelona) and participates in two group exhibitions, Papel de Mujeres, at Sala Transformadors (Barcelona) and Sala Amadís (Madrid), and Zum-Zum at Galería Dubé (Barcelona). She also exhibits, in collaboration with Pep Casares, original mats at the DBarcelona Gallery, and participates in the fourth edition of Supermerc'art in Madrid. In 1990 she participates in Hipermerc'art at Sala Vinçon (Barcelona). From 1991 to 1996 she exhibits in Banyoles, Girona, Vilassar de Mar and Sant Joan Despí. 
Since 1991 she works as an assistant decorator in the audiovisual world, especially in the cinematographic field.
