About

In his solo skate art edition with THE SKATEROOM, Joan CORNELLÀ once again turns taboos into satire to elicit a strong reaction. Inspired by the iconography of waste disposal symbols, the depicted image presents a large figure who is throwing a smaller, infant-like figure upside down into the trash can. The already disturbing connotation is made even more disquieting upon noticing their two identical faces, both formed into an eerie smile against the white background.

Under the image, we see “SAVE THE PLANET” written in bold letters. It’s for the viewer to decide what message they make out of this graphic scene.

The Artist

Joan Cornellà

Joan Cornellà (b. 1981, Barcelona, Spain) is a Spanish artist, illustrator, and cartoonist known for his distinctive blend of surrealism, dark humor, and deceptively cheerful imagery. His instantly recognizable characters, rendered in a simple graphic style and vivid colors, inhabit absurd and often unsettling situations that turn everyday experiences into sharp observations of contemporary life.

Cornellà uses humor and satire to explore the darker sides of human nature, social conventions, and the contradictions of modern culture. His practice spans comics, painting, sculpture, animation, and illustration, with work exhibited internationally in cities including London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seoul.
