“Okshteyn’s astonishing virtuosity inspires
a reverence for the subject depicted and
refreshed entthrallment with cogency of
fine art.” _Ivan Karp

“Oksteyn’s still lives - objects whose life
has been still - not only explore the boundary
between ordinary objects and poetic objects -
non-art and found-art - but between aesthetics
and erotics.” _Donald Kuspit

“This is a new kind of Pop Art. Engaging, shocking
and bafflings. Okshteyn’s purpose is to focus the
worls around him through an intense engagement
with these objects and let nothing distract him in
their contemplation.” _Robert Sandelson
