Artist Description by Jeremy StephensonAn artistic sponge. Yuri dabbles in almost everything, and I realize the word everything is using a broad brush. If I look at a scene and notice a few things, Yuri has probably absorbed 10 times that amount, finding patterns in the textures and colors in the details. I think he likes to experiment a bit with everything life has to offer.Yuri defines going with the flow, drifting through random sleeping cycles, floating through cities throughout the world, and creating different art with whatever tools are at his disposal. Paints, polaroids, canvases, microchips, metals, rollerblades, languages, and anything else that crosses his paths. Music pulses through his veins, his entire house lined with instruments originating from various cultures. He can play every single one of them.If this is starting to seem like one of those weirdo artist types who can’t relate to anybody, think again. He finds the chord to vibe on with the gallery owner, the rich guy, the poor guy, the hardcore rocker and the yoga instructor. Natural adapter with a restless curiosity. It’s like his brain works differently, he paints differently, he creates music differently, but still maintains a common thread with everybody he comes in contact with.Exhibition Views
