Antonio Vidal
Antonio Vidal is a painter born in Mexico City, and based in New York City, USA.
Vidal's work encompasses a temporal breadth that is reflected in his pictorial process, applying several layers of acrylic paint that he dilutes and allows to slowly drip onto the canvas, creating textures that blur the boundaries between planes and bodies. A post-extractivist logic could associate these material incidents in the paintings with acid rain, fossil fuel spills, the appearance of greenhouse gases, and a disappearing biosphere.
His work has been featured in group exhibitions in Mexico, Italy, and the United States, including the VI JA Monroy Biennial at the University of Guadalajara (2022), Arte Vivo at the Museum of Modern Mexican Art (2023), REA Art Fair, Milan (2023), Hidden Narratives at Wonzimer (MODA) in Los Angeles (2024), and Currents at SK Gallery in New York (2024), among others. Antonio had his first solo exhibition in the US at MAMA Projects in New York (2024) and presented his first solo exhibition in Mexico at General Expenses in 2025.
Antonio Vidal holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from the California College of the Arts in 2020. There he received the Creative Achievement Award (2016) and the Curator's Award (2020). Antonio's work has received a number of publications and awards, including the Innovate Grant (2023) and the Hopper Prize (2024). He received a Frankenthaler Award at Columbia University, where he earned his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in 2025.
