Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornella makes his Bangkok debut with an exhibition this March at Future Factory (1077/48 Phahonyothin Rd.).

The illustrator is known for his black humor-laced six-panel comic strips whose cheerful colors and light-hearted-looking characters touch on socially-inhibited topics through scenes of cannibalism, infanticide, deification, murder, suicide and amputation.

While crudely illustrated and non-conversational, his thought-provoking works have drawn widespread international acclaim.

Running between Mar 10-26, the Bangkok exhibition will showcase Cornella's unique canvases alongside limited-edition illustrations, T-shirts and books for sale. The artist himself will be present at the exhibition, at least some of the time, signing copies of his books. B200 admission fee.
