Mario Vidor: The Perfect Cloud
The simplicity of beauty and the beauty of simplicity are undoubtedly the fundamental aspects present in all artistic projects by Mario Vidor. In the black and white photographs of The perfect cloud series, the author catches a rural landscape which detaches itself from its real referent to become an imaginative scenery. The ability to create, through an almost cinematic framing, a dreamlike world, and suspended in an air bubble confirming the artist's stylistic consistency. If, in fact, work in two colors provide human presence only in massive environments to give space mainly to natural elements (snow, marine, mountain and river landscapes), the works dedicated to the nude, show intricate shapes sculptures, composed by the intertwined bodies of man and woman.
The author鈥檚 artistic maturity is also evident in the photographs from reportage shades that offer European cities architecture and exotic views of distant lands. Vidor images, even having a pure iconographic essence, allow sound suggestions to the observer where silence is the protagonist. The muffled sound of the trampled snow, the relaxing one of the sea waves suggest the unknown acoustic effect of a hypothetical walk through steam mountains. The pursuit of perfection, which is inevitably subjective to the engine of the artist's visual intuitions, brings peaceful and serene achievement of this truth. In the pictures dedicated to the clouds, which often manifest a look upwards, is revealed the acceptance of life鈥檚 fate. The meteorological phenomenon of condensation of water becomes a kind of positive manifestation of conscience that invites the viewer to face daily problems floating in the daily atmosphere always a few inches from the ground.
