Yury on his work:

My works are about visual perception and the ways in which the face or body or sometimes even a simple cup responds to the color, line, texture or pattern. The “Thing” or “Subject” by itself, surrounded by “Great Nothing”, is my excitement. I try to establish a very private dialog between the viewer and the subject matter of my painting. It is a simple and sincere conversation without any unnecessary details.

Nice paintings. Very well executed. Not too sure about the dripping though. I see a lot of artist dripping these days.

I think that this art is very expressive, especially in the eyes. The realism of these pieces are astounding!

It’s beautiful.

Love the paintings — the seemingly drippig paint reminds me of female japaneese artist I study in art appreciation that used a technique of letting thinned paint to drip over a painting to see how it would change the painting. Very Cool
