Abstract Sophistication Defined by Artistic Courage
“Komarin gets paintings that vibrate with historical memory, echoing such things such as Matisse’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.”
Kenneth Baker
San Francisco 2007
“Komarin’s courage to move ahead and to take risks in his work marked him from the start as outstanding.”
Philip Guston
1977
“Komarin is a grand simplifier, taking economy of means to its ultimate pitch in images as rawly elegant as the green-striped nose in Matisse’s portrait of his wife, as provocatively deadpan as the cartoonish Klan figures in Guston’s late work.”
Chris Waddington
New Orleans 2004
“Komarin is a colourist of the highest mark – his instinct for whimsy and subtlety rendered through pigment is unparalleled by any artist making abstract paintings today, and perhaps only equaled by Rothko’s infamously reverberating palette.”
