Javier Calleja
Javier Calleja "No Art Here" Sculpture Pop Contemporary Art Street

2020

About the Item

Javier Calleja is showcasing a fresh crop of paintings and sculptures in NANZUKA’s 2G gallery and the dealer’s emerging outpost, 3110NZ by LDH Kitchen, designed by Snarkitecture in Tokyo, Japan. The 2G presentation, entitled “NO ART HERE” features new renditions of Calleja’s whimsical cartoon characters realized in a large-scale sculpture and a work on paper. The sculpture, which is in fact a site-specific intervention, features a red beanie-clad character puncturing a wall with one of its arms which appears to come out of the opposite wall with the hand brandishing sign bearing the show’s title “NO ART HERE” — a playful illusion created by the artist who was inspired by the surrealist works of René Magritte. “Calleja produces works that bring surprise and humor to viewers by incorporating subtle twists and interventions to various events within everyday life. Expressing a fondness for the works of René Magritte, Calleja attempts to reference and reinterpret the techniques of the surrealist master through contemporary portraiture. As a testimony of such endeavor, his expressions carefully pay attention to details such as changes in color and shifts in scene, as well as gaps and discrepancies between his subjects and the messages that they convey,” said the gallery in a statement. SIGNATURE Comes With ZHEN Blockchain Technology which provides ironclad provenance.
