The Magda Danysz gallery presents for the first time Vuk Vidor’s recent works, the second stage of his American Quartet. A work focused on the modern world, current events and the ultra power of the United States, Vidor takes from American comics in terms of his technique and 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 in metal, steel, photography and collage, as well as produces monumental installations. This multidisciplinary artist has exhibited in Belgrade, New York and Copenhagen.

Vidor's painting contrasts with the importance of the ideas. Employing a pop colored language in which every detail is an element of the story,  the works of Vuk Vidor are deep and serious. Religion is omnipresent and his American super-hero is soon transformed into a crucified Christ.  The Statue of Liberty becomes a modern Pieta and is covered by the Stars and Stripes like a shroud. In this exhibition, Vidor presents large format painting, laser cut sculpture and a special installation in the project room about the ego of the artist (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 to 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.
