43. Green Pot [1996]

The artist bets, especially in compositions with multiple characters, on the spatiality and distances that are installed between them. In Câlția's work, the character should not be interpreted only through the prism of decoding a human silhouette, but can embody a cloud, a tree, a bird or even the background of the work. The artist presents the background as a perpetuum mobile and an infinite ancestral space on which he fixes a protagonist (regardless of its origin) and constructs the rest of the composition around the two elements. In this work, the central motif is constituted by the vase with flowers, a motif that we often meet throughout his work. Especially in the works done in the '80s-'90s Stefan Câlția focuses on canvases with dried flowers, wildflowers, daisies or dandelions. He opts for a bursting chromatic and predominantly uses shades of green or violet. His flowers draw their sap from the strong color of the background, they charge from the vivid color of the vessel in which they reside and triumphantly rise outside of it. Whether they become the protagonists of the work, or whether they share the canvas with ceramic vessels or fruits, Stefan Câlția's floral elegies refer to the primordial village, to the simplicity of rural living and the endless meadows that delight us with their beauty. The choice of wildflowers will not be random, as the placement of them in the ceramic vessel will not be casual. The return to origins and to a primordial space occurs in the form of a well-defined plastic language. The painting genre that Stefan Câlția approaches is thus inscribed in the realist-fantastic area. The artist takes on the role of a narrator in images and assigns a narrative function to his painting, regardless of the subject addressed.
