Being influenced by (Asian) pop-culture and having its origin in the simple aesthetics and the direct language of street art, cartoon, anime, or computer games, Javier Calleja’s works are a democratic and omnipresent way of interacting with an audience, using a simple and direct approach. Calleja’s work is in the tradition of recent movements in Pop-Art, like Barry McGee, Yoshitomo Nara, Chris Johanson, or Margaret Kilgallen, and plays with the concept of perception in a whimsical exercise of awareness.
