RAR seen by...
Francisco Vidal
RAR Collection 2009
Francisco Vidal focuses upon RAR’s employees, in an indiscriminate fashion in relation to their importance or status within the company. The wide array of portraits produced in a short, but extremely intense, period of time, conjure up a reality that would not normally be associated to oil painting. The works seem to draw closer to the world of a photographic session, i.e. mechanical capturing of reality. Nonetheless the artist succeeds in capturing the physiognomic complexity of his subjects using such basic and semi-instantaneous devices. (Miguel von Hafe Pérez)
