About the Item
Mark Pomilio is a visual artist using the traditional mediums of charcoal and oil paint on a variety of traditional and non-traditional supports. His MFA is from the University of Michigan and his undergraduate degrees are from the University of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His artwork has been featured in solo museum and gallery exhibitions nationally and internationally, including LewAllen Galleries, Santa Fe; Bentley Gallery, Phoenix; Luxe Hill Museum, Chengdu, China; Xu Beihong Art Academy, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China; The Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salapetriere, Paris, France; and Art Resources Transfer, New York City.
Mark Pomilio’s artistic interests are fueled by a desire to create artwork, which mirrors naturally occurring systems in our world. In “mirror” he is referring more to ideas regarding physical processes rather than mimetic duplication. Pomilio finds inspiration on a myopic level by attempting to imitate cell repetition and cloning. He has chosen to create imagery, which expresses a developmental process rather than an overt visual depiction. Aspects of his research has been formulated through a series of simple geometrical equations. These equations have yielded a group of “parent” rudimentary geometrical forms. One or several of these forms are multiplied and folded equally throughout the pictorial field. Through this process, a formal pictorial structure is born. Therefore, each image has evolved through the development of pictorial representations of geometric systems of growth. This “parent” form is representative and meant to emulate a single or multiple cells dividing and compounding into a complex organism. In many works, formal decisions are multiplied equally throughout the field, causing a type of visual unity. This balance and symmetry has a visual equivalency in how we read the meditative qualities of a reflective pool, or a religious icon. In the end, my goal is to force a harmony upon the image field that, in turn, forces a potential meaning through the integration of the image and title.
"Utilizing similar forms to those found in “The Approach of Spring,” this work differs in that inverted symmetries lock the work together as the forms repeat and “dance” from top to bottom, over and under. The inherent flexibilities of charcoal on paper allow patterns to emerge and dissolve as the artist considers the complexities of the line through easer and drawn articulation."

Mark Pomilio
Mark Pomilio’s method, motives, and conceptual considerations are centered on visually articulating recent developments in the life sciences. It is not his intent to condemn or celebrate these developments, but rather, to express their profound relevance within our current era. He has chosen to create imagery, which expresses a developmental process rather than an overt visual depiction. The origin of this research has been formulated through a series of simple geometrical equations. These equations have yielded a group of “parent” rudimentary geometrical forms. One or several of these forms are multiplied and folded equally throughout the pictorial field. Through this process, a formal, pictorial, structure is born. Therefore each image has evolved through the development of pictorial representations of geometric systems of growth. This “parent” form is representative and meant to emulate a single cell dividing and compounding into a complex organism. Therefore, within the image field, each decision is multiplied equally throughout the field, causing a type of visual unity. This balance and symmetry has a visual equivalency in how we read the meditative qualities of a reflective pool, or a religious icon. In the end, his goal is to force a harmony upon the image field that, in turn, forces a potential meaning through the integration of the image and title. The geometrical forms used to create the images found within the CCS (Cloned Cell Series) & Family Circle Series have much in common with the manner in which scientific publications express cell structures visually. In these publications, the geometrical pictorial forms of the pentagon and hexagon are varied in their arrangement and each construction has differing associations. In this work, I have combined these forms with a form I have invented, which resembles the contour of a house in perspective. This form, conceptually, is representative of the family nucleus; which is on the verge of profound changes, as new discoveries in cloning and the life sciences interface with society. The six sided house form also has the inherent ability to unify the other geometrical forms pictorially. All three forms are utilized to create a work that addresses my individual societal concerns, as well as my formal and aesthetic concerns.
Mark Pomilio has exhibited his work extensively across the United States and abroad. His work is included in the permanent collections of Baylor University, Martin Museum of Art, Waco, TX; Dupont Corporation, Wilmington, DE; University of Arizona, Museum of Art, Tucson, AZ; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; in addition to many private collections. He currently lives and works in Arizona and teaches painting and drawing at Arizona State University.
