Gary KomarinCake Stacked Brown on Blue
About the Item
Art in America
Sarah S. King July 2003
Komarin’s most successful works are serial - such as the Pop-artish “cake” images - in which versions of a crudely outlined central image are repeated against a succession of subtle lyrical backgrounds. This strategy deftly turns the viewer’s attention to the spontaneous, sometimes enigmatic relationships between line and color within the raw graphic contours of these emblematic motifs. In Cake Stacked Blue (2001), for instance, the thick royal blue rivulets of paint suggestive of gooey icing outline the top half of a multitiered cake. They also serve to isolate segments of the background’s intricate tonal and gestural orchestrations, which are rendered in both frenetic patches and translucent washes of eggshell browns, pale pinks, ochres and cream whites. Here Komarin’s poetic sensibility and versatile technique show themselves to best advantage, and his stylistic influences become less distracting.
