Vincent Pomilio is a master when it comes to color composition. His abstractions on canvas come to life with the most brilliant, yet unexpected color combinations. This bold piece features a bright display of exciting color combinations, geometric motifs, and details of gestural paint splattering. Pomilio achieves striking depth of color, made possible through seemingly infinite layers of pigmented plaster and marble dust that’s sealed with beeswax and burnished to activate its stone-like qualities. The abstract compositions are rooted in real-world observations, both natural and man-made. The surface is smooth to the touch, as the artist burnished and polished each layer of pigmented plaster with marble dust.
The artist's signature is located on the back along with wire for easy installation. The piece is in excellent condition and ready to hang as is.
About the artist:
Vincent Pomilio specializes in all painting media, canvas, paper and wooden panel. A visit to his studio in the bustling neighborhood of Manhattan’s Greenwich Village offers a unique insight into the artist’s process of his own art making. The right brain dominates here; skillful use of color, shape, line and scale are discovered via intuition, experimentation and quarter turns of the canvas. Pomilio has occupied this bohemian artist’s pad since his school days ended at New York University in 1978 and it is here that he continues to paint to this day. Abstractions of color explosions are harmoniously composed using a combination of acrylic, wax, pigmented plaster and marble dust to build up surfaces and introduce texture. “In the end, the challenge is to know when to stop,” says Pomilio. The result is a stunningly complex and layered composition of color that one could interpret as an aerial landscape view or motifs that resemble woven baskets. When it comes to abstractions, the artist rationalizes, “If you see it, it is there.” At one point in his career, Pomilio felt he was struggling to successfully produce small paintings using the scaled patterns that was common in his work. This prompted a new series - the Big-Little series – which encompasses a study of big images on a small scale. By introducing a degree of ‘minimalism’ he could explore color relationships while magnifying techniques used on larger canvases. The effect this project had on his work flow was one of renewed energy and confidence. He could complete a painting much quicker than with the larger canvases, allowing him to try various solutions and expel creative energy in a focused way. Earlier this year, he completed the 100th 12 x 12 inch painting in the series.
Artist Statement:
I primarily work in all painting media, on canvas, paper, or wooden panel. For the past ten years my work has been largely abstract, always using the Natural World as my guide. 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. Some of my work has a strong landscape feeling as in "Between The River and The Sky". I always encourage the viewer to find recognizable shapes and images in my work. "If you see it, it is there". Most of these paintings have an all-over feeling as if these self-organizing systems continue off the picture plane. 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.
DESCRIPTION OF WORKS
I usually start with an acrylic base and drawing tools, pencil, wax crayon, ink etc. I also use a Kolcaustico plaster with marble dust and pigments in layers. As it is drying I carve into it and paint into with pigment or water based paint and start to build up the surface. I do as much carving as painting. Nothing is collaged onto the painting unless I specify collage as part of the material. A lot of the shapes are created with tape and the material is troweled onto the surface. After it is all said and done I rub a refined beeswax into it and burnish the surface to bring up all the detail and seal the surface. It acts as a glaze as well and makes it resistant to moisture. All materials are permanent.

- "Centinela", Acrylic on Wood Panel by Contemporary Artist, José Palacios, 2019By Jose PalaciosLocated in Madrid, ESJOSÉ PALACIOS Spanish, 1970 - CENTINELA signed "JOSÉ PALACIOS" (lower right) signed again "JAPALACIOS" (on the reverse) acrylic, spray, wax and graphite on wood panel 39-1/2 X 39-1/2 inches (100 X 100 cm.) unframed. CENTINELA A window to a park, or an important avenue of a large city can be a source of inspiration to create works of art. The behaviors of our peers give rise to creating stories that can be reflected in music, cinema and of course, in a painting. José Palacios was born in 1970. Influenced by the Spanish artists of the 80s belonging to the Madrid Movement, he began his artistic career linking the world of Painting and Illustration. Years later, Palacios developed a figurative style combining neo-cubism and pop art. His current work is based on a combination of abstraction with pop art winks made with a palette of refreshing and bold colors. His works are present in different private collections in Europe, United States and Asia. José Palacios work has been exhibited at Wanrooij Art Gallery (Amsterdam, Holland), Bridge Gallery (Beijing, China), Art Angler Gallery / New York, USA), Plastique Art Gallery (Madrid), Actual Arte Contemporáneo & Galería Luis Carvajal...Category
