Between the lines (Set of two) by Javier Calleja Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Silkscreen on paper Dimensions: 40 x 30 cm Year: 2016 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?Ruled paper becomes both surface and barrier: the two prints literalize “between the lines” by turning writing guides into openings through which small figures appear. The supplied artist profile associates Javier Calleja with playful, childlike figures. Here, oversized eyes and tiny gripping hands make that visual language serve a specific tension between concealment and discovery.In the photograph, one figure peers through a horizontal slit, while the other occupies a tall central opening flanked by two narrow cuts. This shift from low, compressed hiding place to upright exposure gives the pair a restrained narrative sequence.Catalogued as silkscreen on paper, the medium supports sharp black shapes, repeated ruled lines, and isolated green and pink details. Their graphic clarity makes the apparent tears read as constructed images rather than confirmed physical damage.The set is particularly useful for considering how familiar stationery can regulate attention: lines intended to organize language instead conceal, divide, and frame bodies.
