Black & White Gallery is pleased to announce the first posthumous survey of Shimon Okshteyn’s work. Through our newly established exhibition space in Southampton, NY we will support The Shimon Okshteyn Estate granting the public greater insight into the artist’s life and career. In doing so, we hope to bring his work back into the spotlight and increase the visibility of his works within the local community and beyond.

The Artist Estate / Part 1 / There Are Many Forms But Few Classics is the inaugural presentation of works from the Estate of the trailblazing American-Ukrainian artist Shimon Okshteyn. It features a carefully curated selection of work from the Estate created by the artist from 1976 to 2019. This is the first presentation of Okshteyn’s works since his passing in 2020. His work has previously been shown at galleries in England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and at Stux Gallery and OK Harris Works of Art in New York City.

The spotlight of this exhibition is on Okshteyn’s career-long inquiry into how process and material experimentation created entirely new ways to find images. Featuring twenty one works from the Estate, the exhibition traces Okshteyn’s artistic evolution, from his early cityscapes and figurative paintings to his iconic black and white graphite paintings and late vibrant abstract landscapes. more
