Following the example of his masterly poems rendered in a text full of emotion and sensations, and with the exact choice of intense words, the paintings of Camille Vidal are thus easily recognised. They are always evocative and strewn with outbursts from the heart and spirit.
I do not think that this artist would have appreciated being called almost informal, as his creations always end up describing with brio, sparkling magic of pure beauty and are punctuated by moving fullness, from which issue harmony and equilibrium. From these active, generous fruits of reflection, Camille Vidal knew how to deeply motivate body language by giving it a rhythm which alternates between grandiose seriousness and solid suggestion.
Actually, this artist’s works were generated deeply-drawn by virtue of reflected colours and the vision of a painter who at times lightly touches the tangible, in order to better disturb the mysterious, limitless sources of his inspiration.
