About the Item
"First View of Switzerland" view of lush green Swiss Alps from train window.
"First View of Switzerland" displays Yektai’s impressions as he was situated on a slow-moving train with big windows, allowing the artist to soak in the mountain's majesty around him. Although not entirely naturalistic in execution, Yektai shows unusual restraint by utilizing only one medium throughout the entire canvas, and the overall composition is legibly digestible as a conventional landscape: albeit mystical and impressionistic. Furthermore, this painting recalls the delicate stain and scumble technique of ancient Chinese scroll paintings on rice paper.
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.

Darius Yektai
Darius Yektai was born in Southampton, New York, in 1973. He lives and works out of his home and studio in Sag Harbor. Darius 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 United States after the Second World War. Manoucher was a prominent Hamptons Abstract Expressionist painter. Darius has picked up some traits from his father but pushes even further into what is now completely his own.
Darius’s most recent body of work is bright and colorful, with oil and acrylic paints laid on thickly. 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.

By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Yektai captures the transient shapes and textures of the Atlantic's waves that, as a surfer, Yektai is particularly attuned to. The circular canvas is a reminder of the cyclical nature of the ocean, and also resembles a porthole window.

Salt Chuck
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An abstract oil painting, loosely painted en plein air on a beach in the Hamptons. The painting captures a curling wave, just about to crash on the shore, the spray from the top of the wave watching in the wind off the ocean. The painting was done like a sketch done by impressionist artists back in the day, but on a much larger scale. Color notes jotted down urgently to capture the moment before it disperses like sea spray in the breeze. Yektai paints in a thick sculptural fashion...

Off the Wall
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
The dark green and blues of a dramatic wave are signifiers of an Atlantic Ocean scene. A surfer, seemingly one with the wave, rides in the barrel. Stripes of color track the movement and trajectory of the surfer.

Ghost Orchid
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
A classic Yektai subject of melding flower still life with a landscape background. Land and sea become one as the orchid's form and colors blend into the waves of the seascape. The leaves of the plant start to become the waves crashing onto the shore and the sun could be mistaken for a blossom.
