About the artwork
This work features a man dressed in a suit hanging from a tree branch, but taking a selfie and flashing a disconcerting smile. The pictorial style is simple and uncluttered, reminiscent of the "cartoon" aesthetic. This discrepancy between the seriousness of the scene and the joyful expression of the character is typical of Cornellà's style, which uses light-hearted visuals to incite reflection on profound themes.
Expert opinion
This work is a perfect illustration of Joan Cornellà's art: humorous at first glance, but revealing an acerbic social commentary.
