VOLUME, SURFACE AND INCISIONLong before his painting was invaded by the bright colours that fill it now, before opting for the cold of aluminium as a support for the large composite panels that he later made, before the formatted canvases that he uses now, Pedro Calapez’s painting found landscape as its working field. From early on the definition of volumes that seemed to be dry, almost lunar landscapes composed horizons that corresponded to a search in painting that was common to other artists of his generation, like Pedro Cabrita Reis. In Calapez’s case, the earthy tone and the bare volume almost defined a lineage that started at Dominguez Alvarez and was hurled into the need for a return to painting that stirred up the eighties. Yet in his painting there were two components at large that would be multiplied in different formulations: the drawing, scratched out over the painted surface (a procedure that was opposite to the tradition of the overlaying of paint) and the volume, the space that was defined as a field, a mountain, a room. For a long time these components marked the development of his work, namely when the space became transformed into the space for the installation of the works, in the studiolo model, and these were converted into elements that themselves formed a landscape – and not just its depiction. The drawing would establish an axis of definition and would always be a counterpoint to the mass of paint, to the brush-stroke, as if Calapez lived his path between the matter-based tradition of Renoir and the drawing of Matisse, converted into incision, into a surface wound. So this painting and these drawings by Pedro Calapez are the memory of the beginning of his career, but they also bear witness to the how of the future development of his work.Delfim Sardo

艺术家简介

Pedro Calapez: Exploring Layers of Memory and Texture

Pedro Calapez, born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1953, is a Portuguese painter whose artistic journey began amidst the vibrant cultural landscape of the seventies. Early exhibitions marked the genesis of his career, culminating in his inaugural solo show in 1982 – an event that established him as a significant voice within the burgeoning Portuguese art scene. Since then, Calapez has consistently pursued creative exploration, showcasing his work independently across prestigious galleries and museums including Casa de la Città in Rome, Carré des Arts in Paris, and the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, cementing his reputation for impactful visual narratives.

Early Influences & Artistic Beginnings: Calapez’s formative years were steeped in European artistic traditions, particularly Surrealism and Expressionism. These influences subtly permeate his stylistic choices, evident in the emotive brushwork and dreamlike imagery characteristic of his oeuvre.
Notable Exhibitions: His exhibitions have spanned decades, reflecting a dedication to presenting his work to discerning audiences worldwide. Highlights include ‘Histórias de Objetos’ (Stories of Objects), ‘Memória Involuntária’ (Unvoluntary Memory), and ‘Campo de Sombras’ (Field of Shadows), demonstrating a fascination with capturing fleeting moments and conveying profound psychological states.
Technique & Style: Calapez's technique is defined by heavy impasto – applying paint thickly onto the canvas – creating textured surfaces that invite tactile engagement. His approach leans heavily into abstraction, prioritizing color palettes and gestural marks to communicate emotion rather than literal representation.
Recognition & Awards: Calapez’s artistic endeavors have garnered considerable acclaim, securing him positions within influential institutions like the Gulbenkian Foundation and contributing to the advancement of contemporary art in Portugal.

His work frequently delves into themes of memory and perception, utilizing objects as catalysts for exploring subconscious landscapes. Recurring motifs—often bathed in luminous hues—suggest a preoccupation with capturing intangible feelings and sensations. Calapez’s canvases are not merely visual representations; they are invitations to contemplate the complexities of human experience.

Key Achievements & Artistic Legacy

Calapez's contribution to Portuguese art extends beyond individual exhibitions. He has actively participated in shaping dialogues concerning artistic expression and its role in reflecting societal concerns. His exploration of abstract forms and emotive color combinations stands as a testament to the enduring power of visual language—a legacy that continues to inspire artists and resonate with viewers alike.
