Javier Calleja No Wings To Fly Figure

The Javier Calleja No Wings To Fly Figure captures the Spanish artist's instantly recognizable wide eyed character in a moment of hopeful anticipation, standing with feet planted and waist bent just before what looks like a leap into flight. Made in collaboration with Hong Kong based creative studio AllRightsReserved, the figure's outstretched fingers mimic bird wings or feathers, a detail Calleja has described as tied to his own childhood dream of flying. The oversized head and glassy, exaggerated eyes reflect the artist's broader body of work, drawing on the psychological pull those proportions have on adult viewers.

Crafted from mixed media with vinyl and crystal glass detailing, the sculpture measures roughly eleven by ten by seven inches, giving it genuine presence as a display piece rather than a small collectible figure. Limited to an edition of 888, each piece is numbered and signed by Calleja directly on the underside, tying the work back to the artist's own hand. For collectors of Calleja's playful yet emotionally resonant sculptural work, this figure stands as one of his more widely recognized and sought after collaborative releases.

The Javier Calleja No Wings To Fly Figure was released on January 9, 2023 with a retail price of $805.
