Vincent Como (born 1975) is a visual artist based in Brooklyn. His work is rooted in the Art of Minimalist, Conceptual, and Field Color Painting with a special focus towards Black. Como has referred to the influence of Ad Reinhardt and Kasimir Malevich, as well as movements such as the Italian Arte Povera movement of the 1960s.
Como graduated from the BFA Cleveland Institute of Art program in 1998 and lived, worked and exhibited extensively throughout Chicago and the Midwest from 1998 until moving to New York in 2006. His 2007 joint exhibition coincided with "In Praise of Darkness" at Chicago's Western Exhibitions and "Black: Theory and Continuing Research" at VONZWECK, also in Chicago, are documented in a catalog along with essays by artist and curator John Neff and interviews with Vonzweck's owner Phillip von Zweck. He was selected as one of the artists representing the United States at the 2nd Vienna Biennale in 2008.
Como's work uses the use of black fields as meditation on black constituent associations (Black Holes, Evil, Darkness) sometimes alongside referential diagrams detailing the focus of Painting/Drawing/Objects.
