Artist Turns Overheard Conversations Into Funny Illustrations

People say the funniest things when they think no one is listening. Particularly, “Things That I Hear” is a collection of illustrated conversations. Moreover, it reveals moments of awkward public intimacy, biting self-awareness, and the discomforts of luxury. Avner Geller is the creator of such funny illustrations of overheard conversations. And in this case, those illustrations represent the ridiculousness of modern life.

The idea to start the series came to the artist when he was shopping and noticed a young woman. In particular, she was looking at her phone, turned to her friend and said: “He wants to go to Bali. But I say Fiji!” Thus, this absurd situation made him laugh. And soon, he started to notice all the weird cases, turning them into funny illustrations.

Through His Illustrations, Artist Brings a New Point of View on Ordinary Things

Art is a representation of oneself. It is an expression. One can write out his sentiments in an artistically-constructed poem. Another one can express himself by painting how he feels. On the other hand, one can draw how he perceives the world. Thus, art is beautiful and is open to many interpretations.
