EVENT DESCRIPTION
Lladró Art Editions proudly unveils the new limited edition “You Choose One – 150” by acclaimed Spanish artist Javier Calleja. “You Choose One-150 ”consists of a limited edition of only 150 compositions, decorated in a range of warm and intense tones. It will debut in Hong Kong at the multi-dimensional Gold Ball space within K11 MUSEA from October 2 to October 13 2024, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore Calleja’s world and the story behind his creation, “You Choose One.” The collection will be available for sale at Nanzuka and Almine Rech galleries, Lladró Boutiques, and select high-end retailers worldwide.
Following its exceptional reception at Art Week Miami and Art Basel Hong Kong, “You Choose One” returns with a limited edition of 150 units. Each composition comprises three characters —Boy, Devil Cat, and Angel Cat—intricately crafted from porcelain and glass. Each piece is hand-painted in a rich palette of warm and vibrant tones, personally selected by Calleja from Lladró’s extensive color library of over 4000 shades, formulated by the company’s chemical team.
The artwork “You Choose One – Limited Series of 150 pieces” captures Javier Calleja’s distinct artistic universe, seamlessly translating his imaginative world into handcrafted porcelain. With a focus on evoking deep emotions, Calleja’s colorful creations appear playful and innocent on the surface yet invite deeper reflection. The trio of characters serves as a reminder of the inner voice –much like the conscience embodied by “Jiminy Cricket” – that resides within us all.
The centerpiece of this collection is the Boy, whose round face and large expressive eyes convey a captivating innocence. Accompanying the Boy are his two feline companions.
The Devil Cat, despite its mischievous name, features a playful, enigmatic expression. With its tilted head, glossy black finish, radiant yellow eyes, and bat-like wings, it is both charming and intriguing.
The Angel Cat, with its serene expression, embodies tranquility. Painted in matte white with striking green eyes and delicate angelic wings, this figure represents purity and contemplation.
These characters combine the timelessness and durability of porcelain with the expressiveness of glass – particularly in the eyes, a hallmark of both Calleja’ art and Lladró’s design philosophy.
Furthermore, each figure is packaged in a custom-designed wooden box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, further enhancing the exclusivity of this limited edition.
