Gary Komarin (born 1951) is an American artist. Born in New York City, Komarin is the son of a Czech architect and Viennese writer. Like many of the best artists of his generation he is indebted to the New York School, especially his mentor Philip Guston with whom he studied at Boston University. According to a New York Times article by Barry Schwabsky, “Guston’s lesson in cultivating the unknown has clearly stuck with Mr. Komarin. And on a more superficial level, the teacher’s peculiar sense of form can also still be traced in his former student’s work – in the way Mr. Komarin’s bulbous forms can seem to echo, in an abstract way, the cigars, cyclopean heads and naked light bulbs in Guston’s paintings.”

The chaotic surfaces of Komarin’s pieces create a vitality and tension between the spontaneous and the considered, the accidental and the consciously executed. It is the natural result of the artist’s process based on his belief that intention and control should be totally removed from the act of painting. According to Komarin, the best paintings “paint themselves.” Using a fusion of house and oil paint, spackle, and other assorted mediums, Komarin loses himself in the act of painting, free and confident, seeing the serendipitous interaction of the conscious and unconscious.
