Description from the seller
Joan Cornellà — "Certified Idiot" (2026) — Limited-Edition Vinyl Art Figure — AllRightsReserved / DDT Store — New & Sealed
Certified Idiot (2026) is a limited-edition vinyl art figure by acclaimed Spanish artist Joan Cornellà (b. 1981, Barcelona), produced and published by AllRightsReserved / DDT Store, Hong Kong. Standing a substantial 25 cm (10 inches) tall, it is one of the artist's largest and most recent figure releases.
The work depicts one of Cornellà's signature deadpan characters as a proud graduate — teal cap and gown, grey trousers, bright red shoes — beaming as he presents a diploma that reads "CERTIFIED IDIOT," complete with an official-looking red wax seal. It is quintessential Cornellà: the cheerful comic-book palette and the wide, vacant smile masking a razor-sharp satire, here aimed squarely at credentialism, academic vanity and the modern obsession with certified achievement.
The contrast between the celebratory pose and the absurd "qualification" is exactly the uncomfortable humour that made Cornellà a global cult figure.
Joan Cornellà's vinyl figures, released in strictly limited runs through AllRightsReserved / DDT Store, are highly sought-after in the designer-art and contemporary-collectibles market, with his works exhibited in New York and Hong Kong and secondary-market results reaching into the tens of thousands for larger pieces.
