Gary Komarin American, b. 1951

Overview
Gary Komarin

 For nearly three decades, Komarin has steadily produced a seemingly endless reconfigured vision - saturated and loose color fields punctuated by drips, splotches, and ghostly drawn geometries -  indifferent to the ebb and flow of taste. And throughout he has remained quite  content to allow each viewer "to bring something different" to his work.

 

 - Mason Klein

Navigating the intricate terrain between spontaneity and control, Gary Komarin's abstract paintings explore the profound dialogue between form and emotion. His canvases, marked by saturated color fields, drips, and childlike motifs, embody a visual language that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Rooted in an instinctual and semi-conscious process, Komarin’s work evokes the layered complexities of human experience, drawing from autobiographical elements and existential themes. Integrating abstract forms with symbolic depth, his paintings resonate with emotional intensity and conceptual rigor, redefining the boundaries of contemporary abstraction.
