May's Featured Artist is Yuri Hayashi


Artist Statement ~Yuri Hayashi, St.Petersburg, FL


Water and stone, the pure materials is what lures me to begin the process of what I do. It holds my attention with limitless possibilities, pain, joy, and entices me with the way its lays down on canvas. At its purest I think of all of these things and nothing at all. The process is what is so seductive and captivating and why I am drawn to painting year after year. What can I do with water and stone, like alchemy, materials so common like mud or rotten rose buds and silver? How can I make them into something there not? Is it good enough? What if it is? These questions and the materials is what drives me to do what I do, push paint around till its something else. I am painter living and breathing this process. Composition and color are my tricks, like the magician is what I use to hold the viewer to decide what to make of it or how I did it. Just simply water and stone is where it starts.

Occhuzzie is different from other oil paint companies

Occhuzzie's paint is made from the finest pigments and oils. Our paint is packed full of pigment with no fillers and we offer it at an affordable price. We are different from other oil paint companies because we do not mass produce nor do we have an assembly line. Our paint is higher quality due to the fact that our batches are smaller; therefore we can "hover" so to speak over the consistency of each paint batch. I take great pride in the milling process; if I am not completely satisfied I will mill it again until it is a creamy full bodied texture. Not only do I mix it, mill it and jar it but I am also the customer service as well. This is a tremendous advantage, for I am most certain that you will not get all of these qualities in one person when dealing with other paint manufacturers.
