GARY KOMARIN – THE CAKE
This Monograph is the first full edition of the iconic Cake images that Mr. Komarin has been painting since the early 90s. The Cakes have been exhibited in galleries spanning from New York to Tokyo, and reside in the permanent collections of contemporary art museums worldwide. Mr. Komarin views the Cake as a marriage between the Architectural and the Domestic - Komarin’s father was an Architect who trained in Europe, and his mother a self-taught baker who hailed from Vienna. Komarin shares stories of the lopsided and misshapen cakes produced by his mother, often dripping off the plate, but always delicious and full of love. These domestic scenes became formative iconography in Komarin’s contemporary work.

VESSEL — GARY KOMARIN
VESSEL is a monograph exploring the ongoing series by painter Gary Komarin in his larger body of work. Komarin has been producing Vessel works for over 30 years— a deeply embeded form in his artistic practice and pysche. Vessels are inherent civilization, from ceramics of early Greek and Meso-America to the domestic cups and pitchers of modernity, this distinct form and object is a subject of study which allows Komarin to explore, to express, and to enjoy its curves, patterning, and volumes in abstract iteration
