They are primary vehicles for public dialogue about emotional, intellectual and aesthetic values, providing a subjective platform for human connection in our global society. An International art fair plays an important role in the building and sharing of cultural values. It creates opportunities for global connections and highlights the diverse interests of artists, collectors, dealers, museums, scholars and the public. It is with great excitement and pride that I am presenting the 9th annual Toronto International Art Fair - Art Toronto 2008. With an impressive line up of national and international galleries alongside an exciting roster of cultural partners and participants, TIAF has become an important and vital event on the Canadian cultural calendar.

Organized by artists Cecily Brown, Vija Celmins, Rachel Feinstein, Robert Gober, Jasper Johns, Julian Lethbridge, Nate Lowman, Brice Marden, Julie Mehretu, James Rosenquist, Dana Schutz, Kara Walker and T.J. Wilcox, the “Painting and Sculpture” exhibition will feature over 180 artworks available for sale (not auction). Proceeds will directly benefit FCA’s grant programs.

Art dealers have shown their support by hosting FCA’s enormous, salon-style exhibitions, where one is likely to find a work by Ed Ruscha next to a work by an emerging talent. This latest benefit exhibition will be held at Lehmann Maupin’s stunning Lower East Side gallery which opened in late 2007, heralding a burgeoning contemporary art scene in The Bowery.

Q: You often write that you don’t like to know where you are going in the painting process, so how do you begin a painting? A: This is true, I begin as one has to begin somewhere by drawing on the canvas with crayon or charcoal. Sometimes my eyes are closed or I use my left hand, to throw off my rhythm. I may begin with large shapes or letters or something I hear on the radio, (a word, a phrase), it really doesn’t matter. Q: Then what follows from there? A: The canvas is placed on the floor of the studio where I begin to pour and brush paint freely in various directions.

    GARY KOMARIN THE VICOMTE and SOME OF HIS PARTS September 6 - October 20, 2018 GARY KOMARIN THE VICOMTE and SOME OF HIS PARTS September 6 - October 20, 2018 37 Popham Rd. Scarsdale NY, 10583 (914) 723-8738 MadelynJordonFineArt.com GARY KOMARIN THE VICOMTE and SOME OF HIS PARTS September 6 - October 20, 2018 MJFA is delighted to present a second solo exhibition of paintings and works on paper by American artist GARY KOMARIN. The exhibition, entitled THE VICOMTE AND SOME OF HIS PARTS, will be on view from September 6 - October 20, 2018. Included in the exhibition are seven oil paintings and four works on paper all completed in the past year. Komarin is internationally recognized as a risk taker of contemporary painterly abstraction. An artist who has forged a singular style over 30 years of painting, Komarin’s free- wheeling works have a deep connection to Color Field and Ab-Ex painting, and the current trend of Provisional painting. Utilizing unconventional materials, such as house paint, spackle, and industrial canvas tarps, Komarin’s roughly textured, intuitive paintings feature an assortment of oddly shaped forms and iconography – that may or may not appear recognizable – on large flat fields of solid color. He states “I think of my paintings as pre- linguistic. Forms travel and co-mingle through time and space, free from the tyranny of order and reason.” Komarin has long been associated with the 20th abstract painter Philip Guston, with whom Komarin studied and was mentored at Boston University in the 1970’s. The artist, who was awarded a Graduate Teaching Fellowship, took to heart Guston’s philosophy of “painting what you don’t know.” As stated by New York Times art critic, Barry Schwabsky “Guston’s lesson in cultivating the unknown and the teacher’s peculiar sense of form can also be traced in his former student’s work.” Gary Komarin’s large-scale paintings hover in a kind of dream-like metaphysics.
