> STATEMENT
"For the most part, Bemiller's acrylic paintings evoke an obsession with beauty and fantasy rather than with the existential reality that preoccupied abstract expressionists such as Motherwell. In the massive painting The Aftermath Bemiller seems to emphasize the contradiction between his historical precedents and his contemporary use of color, creating a dramatically tense stage-setting of sorts. The Aftermath is sewn together by abstract poles, no doubt another reference to Abstract Expressionism (e.g. Pollock's Blue Poles). Bemiller covers his poles with a kind of storm cloud whose luminosity seems to offer hope for the future of abstract painting." -Mary Anna Pomonis; Excerpt from the Review of "Quinton Bemiller: Chance and Choice", THE Magazine, Los Angeles September, 2009.
