Controversial Illustrations By Spanish Artist Mirror The Ugly Side Of Society
3.6Mviews
While these images are safe for work, they’ll still make you feel dirty – and that’s because they reflect some of the dirtiest things about our society. Spanish artist Luis Quiles’ images are so powerful because they evoke deep visceral responses – be they arousal, terror or disgust.
Quiles gets down and dirty with topics like sexism, homophobia, exploitation and violence. He’s got more powerful works spread across his various profiles, but not all of it is safe for work (NSFW) or suitable for minors, so be warned!

He illustrates the truth and reality...unfortunately...
Really good but also really disturbing
its disturbing because you dont want to face reality shown by these drawings
It's disturbing because it's disturbing. Get off your high horse. You can be facing reality every day and still have it be disturbing to you
It's disturbing BECAUSE it's the truth. It's disturbing because we all KNOW it's the truth, but there is little we can do to change things
So u mean you feel comfortable or pleased by those pictures? This images are meant to be disturbing and make us rethink our society.
So you find yourself happy and perky to see these? They are very good, AND very disturbing. These things are not exclusive.You are very rude
Just someone sees something as disturbing doesn't necessarily mean they don't recognize it's reality.
The fact that you find the images disturbing doesn't mean you are incapable of getting the message. Why do people make such weak arguments?
It's disturbing because you're posting from your cellphone while Instagram and Facebook are running in the background and you want likes.
I don't understand how.
Knowing the truth is disturbing to only those who don't have a grasp on reality! To me such imagery is like a wake - up call for pos.change
Totally agree...however, I wonder if disney have such a lost film like the one they found a few days ago http://bit.ly/12Ce2x3
To those who presume why one is disturbed without any other information is idiocy at it's best.

How disturbed u r?? Like you didnt slept a night ...or what?
what is your problem with this comment? I'm not gonna lose sleep at night but I may have some of the images burned in my memory..
this is a accurate illustration of the ugly side of society .
The author watches too much porn...
Do you mean society?
7770mememe, what FeedMeDonuts meant is "Do you mean the author watches SOCIETY to much"? (as opposed to PORN)
No, definitely just this author. About half of these are pictures of different objects being used as penises in the mouths of girls.
I agree, it seems like an excuse to draw hentai, he has more disturbing images of women than anything else.
Well it's a critique on society, and those are fair points as to women's roles and discriminatory roles in today's "modern world".
Have you not been on the other sides of the internet? That's how far some women will go for popularity online..
So, out of 17 pictures there are 5 with hentai-sh women . I find your comment extremely inaccurate.
A glass spills nothing but its content
The fact all the women he represents are so overtly sexualised, regardless of the main context of the illustration, is problematic.
Yeah, everyone keeps posting this on facebook and that's all I can think. Check out http://toonpool.com/gallery.php?user=357 for some real..
Looks like the adolescent leering caricatures from a teenager who would draw and then guiltily hide them under his bed from his parents.
Emma, sounds like you've been watching way too much porn. Sicko.
haha wow.
Yes Nathalie I have been 'on the other sides' of the internet. -_- It still looks like he's making an excuse to draw derogatory pictures.

I mean honestly so what if some chick is getting her kit off to get popular? People have holiday bikini pics/shirtless pics on FB big deal.
Hes implying the lustful nature of todays society is basically
not necessarily lustful, but truthful.
Porn.
You might not indulge in ur natural sexual curiosity. Majority of the world falls prey to the disillusions and expectations created by it.
Or maybe you do.
hahahaha
very good way of showing the truth although ugly
Amazing array of illustrations
very good - all is true, and truth is ugly
Some truth is ugly, this truth is ugly
oh wow! shouldn't be so shocking, but unfortunately thats our society today. This is our world now and were the only ones that can change it
Yes, we're the only ones who can change it. So long as we idolize $$$$$$$ as a society, people will oppress others to feel powerful.
why isn't the male version as obscene as the female version of the ugly society?women aren't the only ones whoring for likes,guys do thattoo
The females in the photo's look 1) Young & 2) Pressured, or at least naive. The social networks, like porn and meds are all facilitate.....
societies pressures. i.e. The early sexualization and commodification of our young women.
Want pleasure, no problem, log on and watch some guy ejaculate on a young girls face. Facebook, 1000s of likes for the 'cute girl', TV, lets
The child soldier seems to have more clothes on than all the woman combined. Only women are "whores" for social media? Sexist and untrue.
Why aren't the male version as obscene as the female version of the ugly society?It's not like women are the only ones whoring for likes
Most of these are true but Ur deliberately attacking a human being. Shame on you. But of course it's better to mention the name cr7 in an article or post to get more views. Talk about the ugly side of society 😒
Wow, they removed the sexual innuendo pictures for some odd reason. Shame on you for censoring!
I think it says a lot that the site has removed some of the pictures since the article was posted.
I have to agree: it seems he's been exposed to an awful lot of porn. Also, what we see here is not THE truth; this is only how he sees life.
I'm offended. There is one image here that goes WAY too far. It is possible and pretty common to hate teletubbies without being homophobic.
Yea. Women using social media is the dirtiest thing about society, on par with child suicide bombers. -_-
more like a mysogynistic sex addictive prick. show some disturbing realities to folks, but decides to glamorize the demeaning of women.
It's really irritating to hear people saying how our society is so fucked up "today". As if it's never been worse or just as bad before.
It's the truth America is fucked up and he's showed it
What a boring and fantasy-drained illustrator..
Group sex , gang bang , rape scene ,fetish ,S & M ....is that's what in the author mind ? Definitely he or she watch a lot of Porn...a lot
pretentious shit - just what the modern society loves to 'like' to feel better about themselves
if you don't relate to the pictures, that's a good thing.
Die Bilder sind realistisch und jedes einzelne Bild auf seine eigene Art und Weise sehr verstörend und schockierend.
Why are women the only ones shown in a sexual/abused context? Men are so extensively affected by abuse and gender roles and its never shown
That's just telling obvious things in a gross way. Putting penises and ugly faces everywhere doesn't make you an artist.
this artist clearly hates women
Very great depiction of the ugly and sexual side of humanity. It does control us Money Power Sex
Men are as manipulative as women.the ugly society concept should have reflected at them equaly..and you're wondering why feminists are angry
Those who are not ready won't understand or will ignore the message.
Disturbing, but very true. This artist is bold, you've got my respect Luis
Spot on unfortunately..
One thing is for sure, the artist likes rough porn...
It's are reality and what are world has turned into, I am glad an artist is trying to get the issue across so maybe people can see this ..
So religion for you is something that prevents you from getting it in the ass? There is much to life than that
Point made perfectly. Muy bien hecho!
Point made
so touching because it was the hard truth
I am disturbed.....but he shows the truth of society
Verdadera ilustracion
This is so true... devastating how many more things I can think of.
Very poignant.
Very true and sad
good, but a bad reallity
Thought provoking all. All with slightly different illustration styles, my favorite illustration is the tenth one.
Bravo
Detailed ..Nice
La Edad Media aún no ha terminado. Solo ha cambiado la tecnología, ahora tenemos aviones y virus informáticos para jodernos mejor.
Two pictures were censored....GJ, World is safe now.
I honestly don't have a ton of respect for things done purely in the interest of shock value.
I don't have a whole lot of respect for things done in the interest of shock value...
Really thought-provoking. Really gorgeous.
Ok. Now I am sad. VERYsad. -_-
What is ILLUSTRATED is the ARYANIZED W0RLD 0F ACTUALITY that is MEANUFRACTURED & C0NTAINS ABS0LUTELY N0 REALITY & THUS HAS AN ABS0LUTE END.
The DETAILS of LIFE in ACTUALITY that is MEANUFRACTURED & C0NTAIN'S ABS0LUTELY N0 REALITY...
Since it's Christmas time i believe we should try to help each other, our neibhoors , friends even a stranger in the street..
Love this art work
What is his name?
what is his name?
Time for the world to wake up
great political cartoons, average art!
so disturbing!
incredible

Unfortunately some of us have been desensitized towards these harsh realities at such a young age that its the norm. So feel lucky if disturbed
Paul Kuczynski does it much better
http://twentytwowords.com/13-dark-pieces-of-satire-to-make-you-stop-and-think/ Much better.
t
And then I decided to make everybody who had a problem with the first picture feel guilty by asking what the problem was with it. ^_^
Captures today's disgustingness perfectly
Disturbing, but sadly spot on, thank God there is a good side of humanity as well...
this is good.. talented. sad but true..
This should be out everywhere! A picture says a trillion words so let youre inner self see what it needs to see and feel.
for obvious reasons truth will always be ugly, scary etc... But truth spoken out nicely and in such way all could understand. LIKE.
I'm sorry but Killing Teletubbies is a public service not homophobia since their very existence is a crime against humanity.
suck illustrations
Im already aware of this shit. I dont care
it's a load of shite. Totally lacking any subtlety or originality.
This is dark sad brilliant genius.
Great illustrations but sexist in thinking. White young women are not the only oppressed group. Young white men are also sexually oppressed
I feel deeply moved. This pen and paper really did illustrate the sick reality behind what the media rams down our throats.
Some I don't understand, but most of them are so true.
i see the pain
I don't get any of them
I don't get any of them
The truth is ugly, the exposure of the truth is rewarding. We need to realize that corporate society is raping your individualism. EVERYDAY
It is sad, very deep and an eye opener....
Yea, because women using social media is the ugliest thing about society, on par with child suicide bombers. -_-
These pieces of art are Pictures that speak Volumes. However, although it is clear as day Many of today's society still will not Get it.
It's so sad... :-(
So so powerful! There are no words. Wow!
So so powerful! There are no words...
It's true.
Dark view of reality he needs to display the people who are working hard to abolish those disgusting truths
I don't get it
i don't get it
Every negative post on this article proves exactly what this artist illustrates above. Quit the negativity and judgment. Be positive.
Very provocative stuff. I agree with the sentiment of all of them, but my view of what it means may be different from yours.
I actually like it.
I actually like them
Wow !
Change starts with you. Don't blame ppl, just lead by example. Difference between a boy and a man: boys ask questions and grown men answer.
It is satire and it is meant to make you think about life and what goes on in it every day and we all let it.
wow
So powerful, good work
It makes me angry when people say that society is fucked up only in modern times. It's always been like this. We just have mass information.
If he really wanted controversy, he should have changed the bible for the koran. Free speach? Ironic really..
The artwork was fun, but it's rather funnier to see how some people react about the truth and the DEFENDING of the society. LOL
Don't like it. What do you have against the christianity? Why you always blame it. People are bad and they viciate the religion.
Interessante
stupid
Very excellen.insightful and true,,,,,,,,,,,unfortunately!!
We will eat ourselves to death until the last person then say, " Fuck I wish we'd thought about our future!!!"
Humanity, renamed 'The Cancer'.
Everyday we by-pass the reality of the world we live in. Its disgusting, we are disgusting....we are just human! We are the disease!!!
BRILLIANT WORK
BRILLIANT WORK
Scary
did someone say pseudo-intellectual bullshit?? an instagram cock? a teletubby with "homophobia" literally spelt out for seemingly no reason?
The truth hurts but must be told
Modern Life .... So Awesome
i like it
The world is not consumed with evil. Not everyone is superficial, greedy and suffering or chasing a dream. Some people are happy in life.fin
Beautiful, brilliant.
Well. Evil men, helpless women, evil corporations and more helpless women. It is as far from controversial as it gets: conformist bullshit.
crazy
sick!
Your works are incredibly strong, I admire how brace you are to make these and you created realistic issues that speak the truth
Amazing work, glad that artist like yourself can still have the right to portray the reality of life, thank goodness the message is there!
amazing work!!!!!!!!!!
love this!!!!! super cool!!!! Reality Check!!! lol!!!!!!!!
This has given me crazy chills. I could write a thousand words for every picture.
The llustration says it all. It depicts the immorality or society has become.
Terrifying but true.
There's nothing wrong with these illustrations. This is how the artist sees the world. This is the harsh truth.
It's the truth just swap out the items and it is the truth we are slaves to money, sex, media, and religion
I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I don't know ho
I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you
These are all pretty crap. Obvious symbolism, tacky shock value. Valid "observations" but shit we've all known since we were 12.
Gaia weeps..
Gaia weeps
Wow. He nailed it!!
Awesome!!!!!!!
Genius
So ugly It's beautiful
not nice to think about but bang on.
Che gevara was apiece of shit . . .
Epic!
Most people don't get these. Sad.
Its disturbing because this is our reality and we are not doing anything about it. Its not enough to care, we have to take action too!
Its disturbing because this is our reality and we are not doing anything about it. Its not enough to car, we have to take action for good!
pretentious shit
A mirror to the society
Amazing!
No one likes to face an honest observation. LOVE these
what does the last image means
The Che Guevara illustration is my favorite. Revolutionist turned to Meaningless Flare on todays zoned-out disconnected youth. Powerful.
This is disturbing? Cringing at reality is not a sign of empathy, it's a sign ignorance. Also, some of his pictures are ignorant
This is disturbing? Cringing at reality is not a sign of empathy. It's a sign of willful ignorance.
It says more about him, than all of society... I just googled his Facebook page. He is fixated on demeaning women. Not my thing.
I totally understand where this artist is coming from and understand his meaning. Truth hurts but still the Truth
That guy focuses a bit too much on what women do and don't. Yes it's disturbing, but it's also optional...
Perfectly illustrated view of our current condition. Scary but true
the simple truth in this life ei
La cruda verdad
I see that Sméagol was inspiration for some of these bizarre artworks.
wow
I can only understand 3 pictures from them : the censure, the shark and the bomb. Don't really get what he try to tell us from the rest..
love
Powerful
So powerful
sounds like reality but actually part of us just read and do what the our show that must go on. so what must I do now ?
Es lo que está pasando,una realidad ficticia. Despertemos ,aun estamos a tiempo de cambiar esta forma de vida. Nos están manipulando .
... the reality of society at its best - ugly & ridiculous. Very good interpretations.
Capture reality at its core. Beautifully displays the raw impurity of the screwed up things in modern day life. Taboo to some but breath tak
Shock pop art/Banksy imitation. There's 3 or 4 images that would be good political pics in the paper, but I wouldn't put them up in my home.
I wish these were explained
It is a true reality that we can chose to change or keep moving like sheeps
Hansen if they choose to go that far then they are to blame it is their own choice no one has a gun to their heads.
This is bang on with mainstream culture - not some darker subculture. It IS exactly the truth.
disturbing, but unfortunately is reality in our world today
It's ART ....ENJOY IT
I don't get any of them...
Good grief people! Quit all this petty squabbling & try to help amend the ways of this sick, sick society of ours! You're not helping. Stop!
Good grief people! Isn't the subject matter above enough to stop your squabbling? You're missing the point here. Wake up & smell the coffee!
These are gorgeously, hideously accurate. Great art work. Wonderful commentary.
There are a few I would love to frame. They are sadly, true!
this guy speaks only the harsh realities that we choose to ignore and reject
This is just perfect! Amazing artwork. Love it!!
the time is ripe...bravo!
Very confronting!!!
keep up the massive work ..... message received .... boom!!!
message received.... keep up the massive work
we are so unlucky
Fantastic and sad, sad because the art reflects our world today
wish I could say some of this was original
!
Glad I saw these, but what is intent of final one with limbless boy, girl, and light socket....or is it a drone!?
Very insightful, thought provoking! Initially thought to avoid this group, now glad I saw it! What is intent of final, boy/girl/socket?
I think it lacks subtlety. I am not saying it's wrong. But it stays on the surface. Showing the obvious.
true words are not always pretty
Wow.
This guy deserves an award. It's something we all know is true, he's the one who stepped up and artistically said something
Some truth, a lot of opinion... But the "I'm going to control you with this for the rest of your life..." That's a hard sickening truth.
For me the best yet, yes the ugly side of society and it needs saying again and again and again. And again.
Wow but so true
Doesn't really move me, not a fan of the style personally and they're just a bunch of platitudes
Excuse me for a sec.. What is so rampantly sexist and misogynistic about women just performing oral sex? People are into it FFS.
Too much edge for me
I'm so worry it
I was in shock. This is my favorite website reminding us daily that the good bad and ugly are all part of this life.
Amazing
this is the truth ......glad it came out through art
⭐️Powerful⭐️
Powerful and unflinching.
too ugly,too crude,too realistic
Nothing we haven't seen before and the worst part is that we are not going to do anything to change that, we are only getting used to it
He shows the stuff we would rather ignore or turn a blind eye to. Powerful graphic statement. Well done.
Raunchy expressions, but with impactful observations. The medium might overplay the message tho
In Video Form:
The images with women are not from the artists POV or about girls craving "likes". lt's how society and specifically media treats women.
I think his picture with the priest representing sexism misrepresents religion. My religion has the largest women's organization in the worl
Nice work! I would like to see more!
Powerful images .. Great artist
Cunt asshole nigger bitch! Point taken, point made. This is real!
I'm thundered...
https://www.facebook.com/jfilipski?fref=ts
This work reminds me of an artist from Melbourne, Florida, Jeff Filipski https://www.facebook.com/jfilipski?fref=ts Check out his work

i don't see the point in this..just showing stereotypes..nothing extraordinary..and it doesn't explain anything at all..
d
It's social commentary you whiny cunt. Another twat mad that someone is showing how all women are not special snowflakes. Fame whores.
you seem to be unhappy
i don't see the point in this..just showing stereotypes..nothing new.. and it doesn't explain anything at all in my opinion..
Incredible!
These are awesome, I love the puppet with the gun, the homeless evolution and the bomberman one..
very creative and honest
Great story teller . Shame our stories are so fucked up!
the probability that everyone is pure with strong principles of righteousness from 7 billion ppl, is 0
thank goodness not all life is like this. The illustrations are powerful.
хахаха...Если бы не развалился СССР ,а капитализм во всем мире бы здох. То вы бы не рисовали подобных плакатов... Рисовали бы Карла Маркса)
2 things: 1. this is exactly what our society is today 2. the artist watches porn without a doubt :D
love these more people need truth in News and really what direction humanity has turned
can't express the feel with words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are absolutely amazing and so accurate.
Absolutely amazing.
WOW!!!
Its amusing how much his artwork portrays the whorish nature of humanity while embracing the same whore tendencies himself.
more like a mysogynistic sex addictive prick.
Exactly what Art should'nt be. will be quickly forgotten, pointless ugly work.
