Upcoming Ștefan Câlția exhibition in Sibiu highlights artist's recurring themes

Transilvania | Extravaganza, an exhibition of works by Romanian painter Ștefan Câlția (pictured) set to open as part of this year’s International Theater Festival in Sibiu (FITS), will gather approximately 80 works representative of various stages in the artist’s practice, the organizers have said.

The show, curated by Liviana Dan, covers recurrent themes in the artist’s work, such as nature, the rural world, theater, and the spiritual dimension. The title of the show references “ Ștefan Câlția’s intense connection to Transylvania and the poetic universe of his work, where characters, animals, and landscapes become witnesses of a strong connection between man and nature.”
