ABOUT
JAVIER CALLEJA
The Malaga artist graduated in Fine Arts in
2000 at the University of Granada and since then has participated in various
group and individual exhibitions in numerous spaces, both private and public,
national and international.
Calleja's works combine criticism and
innocence, the tenderness of her reminiscences of the children's creative
universe with the acidity given by the inscriptions they are accompanied by,
forceful and often in English. We cannot contemplate her works in a linear
way in the exhibitions in which she stars, since they are often exhibited in an
almost chaotic or semi-hidden order, inviting the viewer to make an effort to
look for them in the most varied places, taking.
Calleja is also the author of installations,
wall paintings and works of medium and large format in which he plays with the
idea of work within the work, and invites the viewer to be part of that
playful scene, to interact by participating in its ironies or reacting before
sizes in contrast: proportions in a duality that evokes the adult and child
worlds. Among his artistic references we can find the aesthetics of
comics, Japanese anime, Surrealism or Pop Art.
Calleja has presented individual and group
exhibitions in national and international galleries and museums: Gallery
Nanzuka Underground Tokio, Gallery Aisho Nanzuka Hong Kong, Gallery Dio Horia
Mykonos, Gallery Rafael Pérez Hernando, Madrid, CAB de Burgos, Centro de Arte
Contemporáneo de Alcobendas, Centro of Contemporary Art of Malaga and recently
in Parco Museum Tokio, among others, as well as its participation in art fairs
such as Art Basel Hong Kong, ARCO Madrid, Zona MACO, Art Brussels or Art
Taipei. Her work has been featured in Juxtapoz, Hypebeast, and other
international art publications. Lives and works in Malaga.
