Javier Calleja was born in Málaga, 1971 and completed bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, University of Granada in 2000. He created characters with disproportionately large heads, exaggerated eyes, and dark and humorous text written down the figures’ clothing or other relevant places. The work is deeply influenced by Japanese animation. The creation tries to tease the world through cute black humor in the high-pressure modern society and brings the relief of knowing smiles to modern people. At Christie’s Modern and Contemporary Art Evening sale in Hong Kong in July 2020, his work "WHAT?" set an auction record. Calleja has held solo exhibitions in Hong Kong, Greece, Germany, Tokyo, Spain, Rome, London, and other international cities. Also participated in art fairs, such as Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Brussels. His work has been published in Juxtapoz, Hypebeast, and other international art publications.
