Exhibit: Big Little Color

Vincent Pomilio, best known for acrylic and pigmented plaster paintings in eye-popping color, debuts a series of new work completed in his upstate studio. 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. 

Memory Wall, 2021, acrylic, pigmented plaster, and wax on canvas,
62 x 60 in., 64 x 62 in artist made frame, $12,000
Memory Wall is a large-scale piece measuring five-feet square that the artist refers to as a “visual encyclopedia of shapes, compositions, and color juxtapositions”. Layers of box-like forms in vivid arrays of color act as a testament to decades of a honed fresco painting process using Stucco Veneziano.
