Gary Komarin (born 1951 in New York) is a bold contemporary artist. For nearly five decades, his unwavering commitment to the potential of concrete art has continued to produce vibrant works imbued with spontaneity, playful figuration, and painterly expression.

For Komarin, abstraction was never a formal dead end, but rather allowed him to push the boundaries of style so that painting "includes more," precisely because a recognizable image excludes too much. His approach stems from the conviction that painting must embody more than representation.

Komarin incorporates her formal education and upbringing into her artwork: her mentorship during a year-long fellowship with Philip Guston, her studies at the Arts League of New York and the New York Studio School, and her graduate studies in English literature all influence her style, the titles of her works, and her prose. Her childhood spent in New York City with European émigré parents—a Czech architect and a Viennese writer—is rooted in her paintings and symbolic motifs.

Internationally recognized, Komarin has exhibited his work worldwide, in the United States, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. His works are included in the permanent collections of major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in Rome, Italy; the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota; the Kiyoharo Museum in Kyoto, Japan; and the Mougin Museum in southern France. Komarin's art has been exhibited alongside works by influential artists.
