Art Access II Gallery
Mark Vaynshteyn

 Artist Bases Paintings About Homelessness on His Own Experience
Art Access II Gallery is pleased to host Regarding Homelessness, a one-person exhibit by an artist who has been there and still lives on the edge with his family. Mark Vaynshteyn¹s work, which focuses on the homeless in Salt Lake City, will hang from November 20 through December 19. There will be two receptions for this exhibit, which will be held in conjunction with the annual Art Access Holiday Exhibit: Friday, November 20 and Friday, December 4, both from 6 to 9 p.m..
One day in September, Mark Vaynshteyn walked into the gallery and mentioned that he had been searching for Art Access Gallery on Pierpont Avenue. He and his small family were currently living at the Road Home when someone told him that Art Access was just across the street from the shelter.
Vaynshteyn explained that his parents, Ukrainian artists Vladimar and Valentina Vaynshteyn had shown their work at Art Access in the early nineties. When asked if Mark were also an artist, he showed us his web site. Yes, he definitely was an artist and a good one.
Born in the Ukraine, Vaynshteyn is a world traveler. He has lived in Salt Lake City, New York City, Paris, and has traveled all over Europe. He met his wife Margarita in France and together they have an eighteen month old daughter Zinaida.
Vaynshteyn has painted for hours each week in the Art Access workshop area, preparing for this show. Working on scrap mat board donated by Tanner Frames, with art supplies donated by Art Access, his subject matter consists of strong figures, with heavy black outlines defining form, reminiscent of stained glass. The artist¹s work reminds one of Georges Rouault (French painter, 1871 1958) who in his mature stage harkened back to his early days of apprenticing himself to a stained glass designer the same melancholy figures and dark outlines are there.
