Nothing At All is delighted to bring everyone into a fairy world by Argentinian artist Javier Gonzalez Burgos’ first solo painting exhibition in Hong Kong - “Camouflage” will be on view from July 21 to Aug 20.

Being a contemporary artist, Javier Gonzalez Burgos has also been recognized for his identity of a well-known illustrator for children’s picture books, who has produced over 120 children’s storybooks and fairy tales in the past decade. Witty and dreamy, somehow melancholic yet truthful, his works speak for his personalities and are globally received; they were published and exhibited across the continents of Europe, America and Asia.

His unique style is defined by lone and emotional subjects - usually are children disguising themselves as animals or objects, minimal compositions, and bold themes. They strike the eyes with a significant uniqueness when one takes a further look and spots the sophisticated story structure and the depth of the characters. From his childlike images embedded with a keen sense of visual storytelling, to the emotional details bore by those pairs of piercing eyes, Burgos endeavours to arrange the framework of the story to perfection and depict his characters as real-life stage performers showered in imitated spotlights, which demonstrate his mastery of story illustration.

Gallery address: 38 Sai Street, Sheung Wan
