Angel Jove is a multi-disciplinary artist, born in Lleida in 1940. He studied for a career in architecture, graduating from his studies in 1964. That same year he founded the Cogul Group, a group that advocated informalism and, soon after, pop art. As a result of discussions and events at the group, Àngel Jové began to experiment with art.

Upon being commissioned to design the interior of the Sala Zeleste in Barcelona alongside Santiago Roqueta, Jove was introduced into the design world. His first artistic works focused on the use of everyday materials and reflected on how they generated shapes and spaces.

Jove's work became a cornerstone of the Catalan conceptual art movement, arguing that the concept of a work is its essence, and he has even been described as revitalising Spanish culture. Alongside his design work, he has also published a series of poetry collections. In the same period, he worked as a scriptwriter and art director, as well as a graphic designer.

"You do it because you feel the need, it’s as simple as that." - Angel Jove
