Vincent Pomilio
Based in New York City, artist Vincent Pomilio's primary medium is painting, which he executes in mixed media on canvas, paper, or wooden panels. In his process, the artist writes, "The image evolves through a series of layers, each one rubbed, sanded, or burnished with tools. The image then reveals itself and I intuitively know when to bring it to completion... I always encourage the viewer to find recognizable shapes and images in my work. If you see it, it is there".
Many of Pomilio's paintings cast his canvas in geometric play, sometimes bearing the effect of a kaleidoscope or stained glass. His geometry further has a sense of expansion when taking in by the audience, as if these self-organizing systems yearn to continue off the picture plane and onto the exhibition wall. One shape flows from another, and then another, until there is a pulsating energy of interacting elements. Worlds of refined, chaotic movement are animated by color and controlled by the fine lines separating shape and form.
