Joan Cornellà returns to Hong Kong with solo exhibition after four years
So, it's no surprise that Hong Kong has a soft spot for the Spanish artist's twisted worldview. Now returning after four years, Joan Cornellà is back with a solo exhibition in town this July. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming show, from event info like dates and tickets to what you can expect to see.
Who is Joan Cornellà and why should you care?
With over three million followers on Instagram, Joan Cornellà is a Spanish artist known for his illustrations and comics that pair seemingly cheerful cartoonish visuals with social commentary. His work pokes fun at the bleak side of humanity, and the obsessions and flaws of society with a hard (and creepy) grin, making you laugh while possibly questioning your life choices. Cornellà's past shows in Hong Kong were a massive hit with fans showing up for his dark, satirical take on life, so you can expect nothing less for his 2025 exhibition in Hong Kong.

We don't know about you, but the bustling Central area plus the contrast of The Fringe Club's historic setting seems to be the perfect fit for Cornellà's chaotic energy. Mark your calendars for:
Dates: July 11-26, 2025 (12pm-8pm); July 27, 2025 (12pm-5pm)
Location: The Fringe Club, 2 Lower Albert Road, Central

Katie Price fires back after Peter Andre hits out in shock rant
Katie Price has hit back after Peter Andre shared a blistering new Instagram post, in which he strongly criticises his ex-wife Former glamour model Katie Price and Peter Andre met on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004 and went on to have two children together – Princess, 18, and Junior, 20 – before separating in 2009. In a new Instagram post, Peter wrote: 'For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. 'That ends today.' Peter's statement, posted against a black background to his Instagram feed, continued: 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. 'For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' In a statement to Metro, Katie's representative said: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. 'Kate will no longer be gaslight and bullied as she once was…' Since Peter posted the statement, Katie took to her Instagram Stories to share details for a pair of tummy tuck leggings she's promoting. It comes after Katie slammed those producing their daughter Princess Andre's debut reality ITV series, The Princess Diaries. More Trending Chatting to her sister Sophie Price on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, on an episode titled The Truth Behind The Princess Diaries, the duo chatted openly about Katie's daughter's new ITV2 show. The reality TV star revealed on her podcast that she has been deliberately cut out of the new TV series because it wasn't good for Princess' brand.
