Artist Reveals What’s Wrong With Our Modern Society In These 32 New Satirical Illustrations

ADVERTISEMENT

Art is not just about beauty. One of its greatest powers is precisely the ability to reveal the realities of the world without having to use absolutely any words, thus crossing the borders of language limitations.

Polish illustrator, Pawel Kuczynski's work does exactly that. In an intelligent and creative way, the artist addresses social, political, and economic issues of global importance. Ridiculing our obsessive relationship with the virtual world, he opens up a series of questions. Pawel's work has been previously featured on Bored Panda and you can find more of his illustrations by clicking here, here, here, here, and here.

A man with mental illness (the jumbled mess in his brain) feels he has no choice but to live a life of crime (knitted ski mask) to get what he wants.

He's dealing with a complicated inner turmoil by weaving a mask to protect himself. He seems tough and untouchable on the outside, but that's only because of the mess that lies below the surface.

I love art... Everyone has their own interpretation of what they see, and no one is wrong. ♥️

i see it as a man with limited education has no choice but to turn to crime, perhaps he grew up in a negative environment

I don't think anyone does, and they're all reading into it whatever they want. To some, that's art in its highest form. To me, it's a failure to convey your intended message. Now it's something others can exploit to fit their own agenda.

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

Wow. These are so beautiful! I love the style. They’re also really haunting and sad, sort of.

Why do people feel the need to explain every drawing? Art doesn't need to be explained. If you need to comment, say how it impacts you and move on.

The paintings are abstract and the interpretation is not going to be the same for everyone.

I really didn't enjoy these. The artwork is good, no question, but most of the themes where pretty much edgy tragic memes. Pretentious. I'm sorry, but, yeah. Like someone that has been on the internet too much and now finds a "deep" though to all what's going on, without having real insight, or understanding. It's basically buzzword (buzzpictures).
