Gary Komarin: The Big Paintings is a monograph which presents for the first time a compendium of large works produced by Komarin over the last thirty years. Working at scale, Komarin explores a unique visual language which floats between abstraction and figuration, and between seriousness and wit. He makes no distinction between painting and drawing; there are no preparatory drawings for these large paintings. Komarin works on the canvas directly, intuitively, quickly - with gusto and fluidity. His paintings refer to their own internal, imaginative scale: often monumental, intimate in close presence, layered and dynamic. Each work is uniquely titled by Komarin, a dialogue between pre-linguistic symbolics of the visual fields and figures and the literary pairing in titling. This monograph presents each piece in two ways: in totality and in transect, affording the viewer a moment to step back and forward within the framework of this book and Komarin’s multi-decade oeuvre.
Book Dimensions: 10" W x 12 3/4" H
