About the Item
An oil painting of a beach on Gin Lane, by Darius Yektai. Painted en plein air on the bed of his truck, Yektai uses sweeping brushstrokes to approximate the expansiveness and luscious texture of the local beaches. Tire tracks are carved through the sand, alluding to the surfing and fishing culture which thrives in the Hamptons. Painting at the beach on a windy day, means being slapped with sand - so Yektai chose to allow his wet canvas be hit by the sandy wind gusts, grains cling to the paint, creating texture and a natural shimmer (acting similarly to diamond dust - a material made famous by Andy Warhol).
Artist Bio
Darius Yektai was born in Southampton NY, in 1973. He lives and works out of his home and studio in Sag Harbor. He grew up in a cultural home of art and artists, with his Greek-American Mother, and his Father, Manoucher Yektai, an Iranian who emigrated to the US after the Second World War, was a prominent Hamptons AbEx painter. Darius has picked up some traits from his father but pushes even further into what is now completely his-own.
Darius' most recent body of work is bright, colorful, with oil and acrylic paints laid on thick. He's creating sculptural paintings that can't be read from left to right, they need to be examined from surface to base, from section to section, and then overall as an encompassing whole.

- "Green Lilies, Magenta Barn" 2022 oil and resin painting, abstract landscapeBy Darius YektaiLocated in Sag Harbor, NYIn this affecting composition, Yektai combines the dynamism of the abstract expressionist style with the soft, meditative qualities of Monet's waterlilies. Yektai first paints the canvas with loose strokes of rich deep greens. A pinkish red abstract form takes center stage - ang highlights of yellow flank the edges. Then he pours a clear-grade liquid resin onto the painted canvas and lets it harden into a glassy surface. Finally, he uses linear brushstrokes connecting colors into forms, in the typical impressionist style. Yektai varies the volume in which he applies paint, from thin and dry to sopping wet and thick. This process allows for a more three-dimensional experience of the painting. One can see through layers which build-up to create the flurry of brushstrokes. The reflective surface makes space for the viewer to see themselves in the painting, looking back at them. A contemporary notion.
