The celebrated Spanish pop artist Javier Melús is returning to Torremolinos with A Story of Pop Art, a vibrant new exhibition opening October 10 at 7pm at Casa de los Navajas.
The collection is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:30 and 14:00, or 15:00 and 18:30 (including holidays). Admission to the show is free and will last until 7 December.
Melús’s work lives somewhere between the iconic and the everyday, turning pop aesthetics into a playful kind of cultural reflection. His instantly recognisable style — bold colours, flat figures and nods to comic books, film and advertising — brings energy and humour to familiar imagery. Yet there’s more beneath the surface: through irony and sharp visual wit, Melús encourages viewers to look twice, to rethink modern myths and the flood of images that shape our daily lives.
Self-taught artist, born in 1961 in Tudela (Navarra), draws inspiration from graphic design, fashion and graffiti. He has exhibited extensively in Spain and abroad, including Miami, Dubai Paris and Luxembourg. Now, his works are in private collections across more than 20 countries. This has cemented his reputation as Spain’s leading voice in contemporary pop art.
This autumn, Torremolinos becomes the backdrop for Melús’s unmistakable colour, irony and cultural commentary.
