While some artists, in fact, many artists take their work as a form of serious self-reflection, Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornellà has always approached his practice as a vessel to comment on the humorous sides of daily life. Not to say he does not take his work seriously, but through a pinch of satire, Cornellà reveals the ridiculous underbelly that often dictates our everyday decisions and thoughts.

More on Joan Cornellà:
Joan Cornellà Vázquez (born 11 January 1981, Barcelona) is a cartoonist and illustrator famous for his unsettling, surrea l humor and black humorous comic strips as well as artwork. Cornellà’s work has often been described as disturbing or flat-out offensive. Through simplistic visual language, he is able to use satire to comment on the sinister and often bleak side of human nature through a myriad of unconventional scenarios. Everything from our unnatural connection to social media and masturbatory selfie culture to political topics such as abortion, addiction and gender issues - no subject is off limits. Cornellà’s work revels in its absurdity and impropriety.
