Shimon Okshteyn

Shimon Okshteyn: 1951–2020, born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, he lived and worked in the USA since 1980. He was a keen and sensitive observer of the environment and took the best from art historical references, playfully reinvigorating elements from the Renaissance, Baroque, and social realism.
