Gary Komarin : The Bowman Sixpence Has Got To Have Soul

GREMILLION & CO. FINE ART, INC. is pleased to present an exhibition of recent work by artist Gary Komarin. The opening reception will be held Thursday, September 12, from 6-8 pm.

Mr. Komarin was born in New York City. After studying at Albany State, he received an MFA from Boston University, where he studied under Philip Guston. Articles and reviews of Komarin's work have appeared in the New York Times, Art in America and Arts Magazine among others, San Francisco Chronicle art critic Kenneth Baker wrote,"Komarin gets paintings that vibrate with historical memory, echoing such things as Matisses's driest most empty pictures, Robert Motherwell's spare abstractions of the 1970's, or the early New Mexico and Berkeley paintings of Richard Diebenkorn."

Having exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, Mr. Komarin has gained worldwide recognition. In 1996, Mr. Komarin's work was included in a pivotal exhibition at 41 Greene Street in New York City, along with work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Philip Guston and Bill Traylor. In 2008, he had a solo museum exhibition at the Musee Kiyoharu Shirakaba in Japan. Mr. Komarin lives and works in Roxbury, Connecticut.

Mr. Komarin has been honored with the Joan Mitchell Prize in Painting, the New York Foundation for the Arts Grant in Painting, the Edward Albee Foundation Fellowship in Painting, the Elizabeth Foundation Prize in Painting, New York Prize in Painting and the Benjamin Altman Prize from the National Academy of Design Museum, New York.
