Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith meets painter and sculptor Marcel Vidal
During a visit to Marcel Vidal’s Temple Bar studio, it quickly becomes apparent that this young artist is having a very busy year indeed. In the spring he was the recipient of a Golden Fleece Award and he was also shortlisted for the inaugural Merrion Plinth Award.
