Pol Anglada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pol Anglada (born 1991) is a Spanish artist and illustrator known for his erotic queer drawings and collaborations in the fashion world.[1] He works across visual art, fashion illustration, and editorial projects, garnering attention for his high-contrast illustrative and intimate style, and bringing queer desire into mainstream contexts.[2] He has held residencies, notably with the Tom of Finland Foundation, exhibited internationally, including at CULTUREEDIT Gallery, Palazzo Soranzo Cappello (Venice), and C.G. Williams (London), and collaborated with brands such as Moncler, JW Anderson, and Loewe.[3][4][5]
Anglada was born in 1991 in a small town near the Catalan Pyrenees in Spain. His father worked as an electrician and his mother came from a farming background. His grandmother was a skilled seamstress, which influenced his early exposure to textiles and craft.[6] He drew inspiration from his father's comics and from classic comic and illustrators such as Milo Manara, Tanino Liberatore, and Enki Bilal. As a teenager, Anglada discovered the worlds of Ranxerox, Physique Pictorial, and Tom of Finland, which have all influenced Anglada's visual vocabulary.
He graduated from the IED Barcelona.[7]
