Francisco Vidal brings us Africa, from Angola to Cape Verde, gives us Lisbon and New York back and makes us feel the world, tropicality, and passion. With a plethora of fundamentally recent works, which go between paper support, canvas or compositions of machetes, not forgetting the dimension of the utopian-installation of some of the proposals, Francisco Vidal transports us to his free gesture, full of irreverence, jazz, and spirituality. Despite the influences that we can find, in Francisco Vidal, of artists that marked the American underground scene in the 1980s or that we recognize a strong neo-expressionism whose palette and boldness brings us to Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), the Portuguese-Angolan adds to all this a world dimension and an authenticity, intentionally political and of tropical aesthetics that are new.
