Addison and Stacey Park include my work in a grand group show called COLOR. “Vincent keeps it pretty simple and paints in plain terms. Colors and shapes, geometric, organic, pop and electric, that form some sort of brand. Within these parameters he pushes the envelope, exploring his options, ALL his options, variations on a theme like a comedian running with a joke until he hits a wall or it hits him, which ever comes first. Maybe it’s a series, or maybe he’s just trying to nail one, or maybe he knows there isn’t one to nail, just a river of moments, each as good as the next. who knows? Literally, You just paint. the results are startling. Flashes. Abstract street signs. The brand plants itself on your inner screen, and maybe, just maybe, animates it’s way onto the mind’s eye.” Addison Parks.
