The work on display was an array of Cornellà's black comical and surrealist humour comic strips and art work.
I found his work so disgustingly hilarious, his crazy imagination is somehow charming through the use of bright colours and clever correlation with sarcasm. I really admire how gutsy and bold he is, with his illustrations intending to make you laugh out loud yet make you feel uneasy at the same time.
His use of sequential imagery is really relatable to how we react to things in real life, you almost feel like you're having a sort of conversation with the picture itself or being involved in some way. I definitely think that you have to have an open mind and not be easily offended to appreciate this fantastically clever series of prints. Cornellà has executed his target audience in a very outgoing way, by pushing all of the boundaries of sensitive subjects and adding a light-hearted feel to them.
Cornellà's work has sparked my interest for sequential imagery just that little bit more, and opened my eyes to the extremes in which humour can be used in illustration. Humour is a theme that I would like to emphasise more in my practice, so that an audience can relate to it better and make them feel more engaged with the images and the meaning behind them.
