GREMILLION GALLERY - OPENS OCT 23RD - 6:00-8:00PM
Gary Komarin explores the act of painting as a process in his upcoming
exhibition, Incident at Osbourne Grove, Gremillion &Co. Fine Art, Inc.,
Houston, September 18 through October 20.

“Precisely positioned on the border between image and abstraction,
Komarin’s forms offer what John Elderfield, speaking of Martin Puryear’s
sculpture, so eloquently referred to as a ‘familiarity that resists
recognition.’”
– Carol Diehl, Art in America, May 2008

“From these seemingly unlovely methods Komarin gets paintings that
vibrate with historical memory, echoing such things as Matisse’s driest,
most empty pictures, Robert Motherwell’s spare abstractions of the 1970’
s, or the early New Mexico and Berkley paintings of Richard Diebenkorn.”
– Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle, June 2007

With a successful spring schedule featuring exhibitions in Dublin, Dubai,
Korea, Zurich and Japan, he opens his fall schedule in Houston, followed by
exhibitions in Paris, Berlin, London and Madrid.

Komarin received a graduate teaching fellowship at Boston University
where he studied with Philip Guston. He has received numerous awards
for his works including the Joan Mitchell Prize in Painting (1999), the New
York Grant in Painting from the Elizabeth Foundation (1999), and the
Benjamin Altman Prize at the National Academy of Design Museum, New
York (2002).

Komarin’s work is included in the public collections of the Museum of Fine
Arts Houston, Montclair Art Museum New Jersey, Kimbell Art Museum
Dallas, Microsoft Corporation, Memorial Hermann Hospital and numerous
others.
