Contains Adult Themes - An Exhibition by Joan Cornellà (11/11/2015)

Totally unrelated to animation, I went to an exhibition by an infamous Instagram artist, @sirjoancornella, in Munro House. Cornella is well-known for his adult humour comic strips which often revolves around dark and/or vulgar themes. He never fails to make me laugh when reading his comic, and I think it may be caused by the straight faces of his characters as if they are desensitised from what is happening to them or their surroundings. I appreciate Cornella's artworks even more as I saw his exhibition since I found out that all the pieces of his work are painted with solid coloured paints (either gouache or poster colour), perfectly lined with no single accidental jitters on it. I find this discovery amazing as, if I were him, I might keep on giggling at the jokes, which I created, hence it is basically impossible for me to produce a single flawless straight line or curve.
