Shimon Okshteyn
(1951 - 2020)
Born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, Shimon Okshteyn was a graduate of the Mitrofan Grekov Art College in Odessa, Ukraine. He lived and worked in the USA since 1980. Shimon Okshteyn showed tremendous artistic promise from an early age. He was accepted into the celebrated Odessa Art Academy in 1970, when he was only 19, and he graduated three years later with a BFA. Okshteyn started to exhibit his work in 1972 while still a student. He had completed 20 solo and group exhibitions by the time he immigrated to the United States in 1980. Okshteyn’s work is featured in the collections of several museums in modern Russia, including the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg and the Museum of Contemporary Russian Art in Nizhniy Novgorod. When he came to the United States, Okshteyn's imagination was inspired by his new environment, and his creativity, coupled with his daring use of form and strong colors, helped him to establish himself among the leading artists of the day.
