Torn Lilly Painting

"Shimon Okshteyn's visual world is unusually stimulating because its fastidious craftsmanship, strong compositional formats and unusual mixtures of materials lead to an inner world whose range is as complex as it is unpredictable and varied. His well-informed appropriationist tendencies are abetted by the artist's urge towards classical traditions that balance gloomy introspection against outward looking strength. Add to this a coherent yet surprising use of thematic material, a richness of invention, and a systematized build up of narrative - all of these aspects make Okshteyn's work irresistibly attractive to the eye - a haptic feast laced with metatonic power." ---Dominique Nahas Artist Statement In my varied and diverse approaches to making art; installations, paintings and sculpture my methodology is consistent. Although there may not always be material similarities between the different bodies of my work they are linked by recurring formal concerns and through the subject matter.  The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the forms of the work.  Each one often consists of multiple works, often in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings.  During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work.
