Preview: Joan Cornellà – Keep It Real @ GR Gallery [NYC]
An exhibit of new works aiming to present the unique dark and unsettling Irony of the internationally renowned Catalan artist and cartoonist.
Via press release:
“GR Gallery is thrilled to announce “Keep it Real!”, a solo exhibition of Joan Cornella’. The show will put together 20 pieces, including works on canvas and paper, prints and mix merchandise. Beside some of his classical signature pieces the artist is going to stay in New York for a while where he will produce few fresh artworks, especially linked to this occasion and environment.
About the Exhibition: “Keep it Real!” aims to present the unique dark and unsettling Irony of the internationally renowned Catalan artist and cartoonist. His bold and direct message is sharply addressed through a very recognizable, naive and simplistic, visual style, that tend to soften the very delicate themes debated. With no shame or fear to offend the viewer, Cornella’ insists in depicting surreal macabre situations, always strongly connected with the latest society issues, where the characters cynically, but always cheerfully, do what should never be done. Without revealing which will be the last topic introduced we invite you to visit this unanticipated exhibition.”
