Vincent Como (b. 1975; lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) has been relentlessly exploring reduction and minimalia with an explicitly anti-color palette for over 25 years. He is represented by MINUS SPACE with whom he mounted the well-received exhibitions Paradise Lost, and the 20 year survey of his work on paper The Negative Approach Operating System (For Intermediate to Advanced Practitioners), among other projects. He enjoys the Ramones and Black Sabbath, Giallo films and cats.
