The Hi-Fructose Store is packed with new items and deals, from big books to back issues. Below, read about the selections you shouldn’t miss right now.
Barcelona based illustrator Joan Cornellà admits that he's had an unusual imagination since his early childhood. Labeled as the "king of absurd", though colorful and playful on the outside, his artwork intentionally oversteps boundaries on topics of race, gender, drugs, and every social taboo imaginable. His images are populated by funny and always happy figures that live in a twisted world of happiness, he says, and they have no time to be politically correct.
When asked about his venture from comic illustration to his more abstract and surreal illustration, artist Graham Yarrington offers a candid observation: "I've always found that painting is the best therapy. I think that sadness and struggle will always play an important role in my growth as an artist." Growing up Rochester, New York, his work is informed by his childhood surroundings- "lots of open space and trees"- manifested in highly imaginative ink and gouache landscapes. Though his work is at times bright and fantastical, the stuff of daydreams and Grimm's fairy tales, there is also a darkness that the artist can't shake.
Joan Cornellà continues to both amuse and repel in his newest paintings. His latest acrylic works are featured in "I'm Good Thanks" at Public Gallery in London. The show kicks off on April 4 and runs through May 4. Cornellà was the cover artist for Hi-Fructose Vol. 47.
