Gary Komarin was born in New York City in 1951 and is the son of a Czech architect and Austrian writer. He is in many ways a risk taker and is considered a modern master of abstract art. Komarin's colorful paintings are of high quality because they immediately catch the viewer's eye and create a timeless moment. 

"Although I grew up in the rough streets of Manhattan, I have often returned to the countryside after visiting many big cities around the world. "
— GARY KOMARIN

Komarin has exhibited quite a bit in the USA, Great Britain, Europe and Asia. He recently returned from a solo exhibition at the Musee Kiyoharu in Japan.

In 1996, Komarin's work was featured in an important exhibition at 41 Greene Street in New York, where his work hung side by side with artists such as: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Philip Guston and Bill Traylor.

Gary Komarin was invited to show in a catalog exhibition with Robert Motherwell and Sir Anthony Caro in Dublin in 2009. One of the paintings in this exhibition was recently purchased by the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma.

In 2016, Komarin was invited to exhibit with Joan Mitchell and Manuel Neri in Denver.

In 2016, a 60 Minutes producer, Harry Moses, shot, produced and directed a short documentary film about Gary Komarin entitled “The Painter's Path”. Movies can be seen here.
