Javier Calleja Presents "MR. GÜNTER, THE CAT SHOW"
Opening this month at Parco Museum Tokyo.
After launching his collaboration with HYPEBEANS featuring newly designed spaces and merchandise, Spanish artist Javier Calleja travels to Tokyo for a special exhibition curated by NANZUKA titled “MR. GÜNTER, THE CAT SHOW.” While most of Callejo’s works so far focus on his trademark “BIG EYE” characters, depicting surprise and humor in everyday life, his latest exhibition is inspired by his beloved cat Mr. Günter roams freely around the exhibition. In addition to the large sculpture of Mr. Günter on the ground floor, guests will find two large wooden sculptures in the exhibition space alongside new paintings and drawings.
“I am very pleased to be able to introduce our important family, Gunter, to everyone in Japan,” Callejo writes in the gallery notes.
The exhibition will run from June 25 to July 18 at the Parco Museum in Shibuya, Tokyo. Tickets are priced at ¥800 JPY (approximately $6 USD) and entry will be free for elementary school students and younger. Commemorative merchandise including stacked “Heads” sculptures, postcards, posters, and acrylic magnets will be available for sale at the museum gift shop
