Vidal Mouet is a Mexican artist currently living and working in New York City. He primarily works in abstract painting, pulling inspiration from his everyday life, witnessing how objects from cardboard to stacked coffee cups interact with the space they inhabit. Mouet works exclusively with canvas, stretch bars, oil colors and space to create referential forms and shapes inspired by the real world. Despite operating within a classic painting vocabulary, Mouet’s works push the limits of traditional ‘painting’, forcing viewers to contend with questions of what they are seeing as they engage with each work. Mouet received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from UCLA in 2017 and his Master of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute in 2025. While at Pratt he was awarded the 2024 Graduate Student Engagement Fund. Selected exhibitions include solo and group presentations at Pulse Projects (2025), Beyond Art (2024), The Blanc (2024), and Dekalb Gallery (2023) in New York City; Chilli Art Projects (2024) in London; Echo Gallery (2022), Doyena (2022), Hanson Space (2021) in Los Angeles.
