Javier Calleja recently launched his “Fake Is the Future” exhibition at Galerie Zink in Germany. The solo show spotlights new paintings, works on paper, and wall murals by the celebrated Spanish artist. Calleja’s signature childlike subjects emblazoned with sardonic, existentialist text such as “Somewhere I know” are observed across the works. Colorful orbs are present throughout the space, sometimes surrounding individual works of art.

Tour the exhibition above and head over to Galerie Zink’s website to learn more. “Fake Is the Future” is on view until August 19.
