Abad studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Terrassa and at the Center for Pedagogical Documentation in Paris. In 1972, he settled in New York. He entered the art world through painting, characterized by the simplification of forms and the reduction of color, before moving on to conceptual art. [1] [2]
In recent years, most of his art is multimedia artistic work. His exhibition on El Camp de la Bota , [3] a project based on the events of the Camp de la Bota in Barcelona, the beach where between 1939 and 1952 the Franco regime shot at least 1704 people, stands out. Abad wanted to rescue these events from oblivion after the works of the Universal Forum of Cultures in 2004 on the grounds of such a bad memory for the people of Barcelona. The exhibition is a collection of documents and testimonies of relatives or friends of the victims, and was presented in Girona, El Prat de Llobregat, Manresa and Barcelona; on July 27, 2007, the artist donated the work to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA).
