BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST
Francesc Vidal received, during the years he spent at the Olot School of Fine Arts, the influence of painters such as Xavier Vinyoles, Vilà Moncau, Lluis Juanola, or Josep Guardiola. From them he will learn an important thing: the treatment of the landscape, the way to reproduce and define it; from his early experiments, he will contribute, as an innovative artist in the field of color, aesthetics in composition, and soul in the landscapes he reproduces.
The Girona counties are full of landscapes that invite immortalization through realistic painting. Vidal paints with an unusually strong personality, with an argument, an evident and an indication that the eyes of the layperson are different from his. A gaze that, in the everyday, does not know how to see all the beauty that nature offers, since a painting reflects the fidelity of a place that, although known, is completely unknown to us in reality. To the lessons of the Olot school, Vidal added a personal vision of the landscape in color, an aspect to which he pays special attention in his works.
Francesc Vidal plays with the different tonalities of the leaves of the trees in their various shades, depending on the season we are in. He captures the different nuances of the landscape with his chromatic diversity: greens, blue-green greens, pinks and oranges, yellows, yellow-green… All these colors must be found in the different shades depending on whether we are in spring, summer, or autumn. This is the great challenge the painter faces in configuring a landscape that apparently would be of a single color but is not so.
Vidal has made landscape his habitual mode of expression but he also knows how to express, with mastery, the intense colors of the Mediterranean, the tempered whites of the Islands, the cliffs of Les Guilleries, or the French gorges of the Agli river with equal skill.
Sometimes he yields to pure figurative style and reproduces the landscape as a mirror. Other times he leans toward still lifes of flowers and plays with meticulous detail in the rendering of stems and leaves, as well as in the contrast between light and shadow.
In short, one could say that Francesc Vidal is a spokesman for our most intimate and hidden artistic impulses that he reveals to us through his artistic expressions of landscape environments, where the cliffs and precipices demonstrate the physical reality of our country.
In his works, he transmits to us the spirit of the landscape as if it were an idyllic scene and introduces us into that landscape nature, obliging us to stay inside it, with the enchantment that it entails. With his work he makes us love and care for nature, as if implying that if nature is lost, freedom is lost and even our own identity.
Throughout his career, this Catalan painter has staged exhibitions in almost all of Spain, France and Switzerland.
