附注:	"Humour is such an inextricable part of our being. In the right hands, it is a weapon, a balm, a tool to disarm - an effective means to help us forget how cruel and harsh our existence can be. However, what happens when this humour enters surreal or strange territory? Do delightfully twisted takes on reality make life's bitter truths easier to swallow? Brimming with cheerful colours, juxtaposed details and quirky characters, OFF THE WALL presents bizarre yet bemusing illustrations of dark humour that spin offbeat yet oddly familiar narratives that we can all empathise with. Through curated sound bites, a carefully edited showcase, and nostalgia-inducing comic strips, this book explores the enigmatic minds of 30 artists as they walk the fine line between being funny and unsettling"--Publisher's website.

[NT 15000229] null:	"A vivid exploration of peculiar art, Off the Wall is a funhouse tour through the darkly comedic minds of more than twenty-five artists from around the world. From representational to barely recognizable, the illustrations and comics showcased here never fail to evoke the special blend of humor and horror that the subconscious mind finds so irresistible. Talking pets, repurposed pop-culture icons and troubled eroticism are only a few of the odd themes to be found in this one-of-a-kind collection. Short interviews with the artists allow a peek behind the curtain, and offer insight into the creative processes that lead to such off-kilter, unsettling and strangely compelling art. Full of dark humor and self-awareness, Off the Wall is a candy-colored nightmare journey through worlds barely stranger than our own."--Amazon.com.
