Contemporary landscape
Albert Vidal’s work is a magnificent example of the validity of landscape in contemporary painting. He deals especially with urban landscapes, which he often depicts through aerial views in which the rational structure of buildings and the urban fabric can be appreciated. He also works with de-anthropized landscapes, such as seascapes or desert landscapes, in which the lack of figurative elements and his expressive and vital style seem to want to bring us closer to abstraction.
