Vuk Vidor Superheroes � Solo Show 28 Nov - 24 Dec 2009 The Magda Danysz gallery presents for the first time Vuk Vidor�s recent works, the second stage of his americain Quartet. A work focused on the modern world, current events and precisely the ultra power of the United States. We find in his works the American comics� drawing style but here the super-heroes are mostly pathetic or discouraged. Famous art critic Jean-Luc Chalumeau describes the work of this French-Serbian artist this way "we do not describe the painting of Vuk Vidor: too varied, too surprising, too mysterious in certain cases. But it is painting". Vuk Vidor is not only a painter, he also works on metal, steel, photography, he creates monumental installations and realizes collages. This multidisciplinary artist exposes in Belgrade, New York or Copenhagen. This painting contrasts with the importance of the ideas. He uses every time a pop colored language in which every detail is an element of the story but the works of Vuk Vidor are deep and serious. The religion is omnipresent and his American super-hero is soon transformed into a crucified Christ having for cross its own country or carried by the Statue of Liberty like a modern Pieta and covered by Stars ans Stripes flag by way of shroud. In this exhibition, Vuk Vidor express himself with large format painting, laser cut sculpture of these American heroes and you will discover a special installation in the project room about the ego of the artist. Vuk Vidor himself represented in a statue made of gold. Vuk Vidor is like that, he combines the spiritual depth and the symbols of comics to demonstrate us - in a particularly colored style - that today "even the super-heroes can�t save us any more". Even before the recession, Vuk Vidor�s heroes had become unable to carry the American dream. |
