Stamped with the artist's signature on the underside.哈維爾.卡勒加(Javier Calleja),以結合圖像、文字的自畫像「大眼仔男孩」風格,吸引全球藏家目光的西班牙當代藝術家。2003 年在西班牙舉行首次個展,之後陸續展覽於世界各地如巴黎、德國瓦爾德基興、漢堡及紐約。2017 年第一次於亞洲舉辦個人展覽,可愛風格席捲藝壇,2019 年起拍賣紀錄不斷飆高。紐約、日本、歐洲個展不斷,聯手潮流圈推出限量公仔,清新幽默的風格,串聯不同世代藏家的共鳴。
哈維爾1971 年出生,與大師畢卡索一樣,家鄉是西班牙南部馬拉加市(Malaga),濱臨地中海太陽海岸的溫暖城市。2000 年自格拉那達大學美術系畢業,開始藝術生涯。探尋他的創作脈絡,約2013 年前後,哈維爾多用日常物件,如:火柴棒、迴紋針和彩色鉛筆,施以錯置的視角,在牆角和手指上,變化出富有趣味的「超迷你」寫真場景。而帶有次文化特色,使用英文單詞、短句,下標作品主題的手法也已經出現。2018 年畫廊中展示的立體作品,手法則相反地以「巨大化」鉛筆塗鴉、筆記本、貓咪、拖鞋,膨脹化超現實的玩味景象。早期,他用發芽馬鈴薯、灰色月球、彩色魔術方塊、雲朵,置換人物的頭部,拉近(擬)人與物(化)之間的差異。一雙大的眼睛,搭配親切且不失尷尬的呆萌表情,也延續到後來的大眼仔男孩系列。
哈維爾喜愛閱讀諾貝爾文學獎得主、法國劇作家-薩繆爾.貝克特(Samuel Beckett) 的作品, 從中尋找靈感構築畫面, 甚至是標註在作品上的短句。哈維爾曾在訪談中表述,欣賞亞力士.凱茲(Alex Katz)、菲利普.古斯頓(Philip Guston)、賀內.馬格利特(René Magritte)、奈良美智(Yoshitomo Nara)等藝術家,簡約且富含深意的藝術表現。2019 年為致敬意大利觀念藝術家─莫瑞吉奧.卡特蘭(Maurizio Cattelan),認同其幽默與諷刺並存的理念,哈維爾加入自己的理解後,再創作出雕塑作品《小莫瑞吉奧》(Little Maurizio)。當外界說在哈維爾的世界,看見奈良美智的影子,他則表示KAWS 的友人、街頭藝術大師─貝瑞.麥吉(Barry McGee)也深深影響了他。雖然哈維爾本人更喜歡在寬廣安靜的工作室,而非人群熙壤的街頭創作,但是他非常欣賞貝瑞.麥吉對於「頭像」的詮釋,也因此這個符碼運用在自己的創作中。 -
