About Manel Vidal
Manuel Vidal was born in 1953 in Spain. Already as a child, the artist showed a great interest in sculptural work and sculpture. However, as he could not count on family support, he applied his artistic skills in the textile industry. When in 1981, the art school "Escuela de Artes y Oficios" was founded in his hometown of La Pobla de Claramunt, he took over the position of the headmaster there. After a few years, he gave up this position in order to devote himself entirely to his sculptural work.
He created sculptures that showed a clear tendency towards the figurative in dynamic – almost dance-like movement. In his thematic world, the human is the centre of a constantly renewing creation. Like the great masters of Greek antiquity, he is always in search of the truth and the origin of human existence. He breaks up the primary rock and shapes it into sculptures of unique beauty and expressiveness.
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Special polishing and patination techniques give the surface of the casting an appearance similar to the bronze.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
