About
"Waterlilies" is a classically derived painting subject. Many artists have tackled the subject, including, most popularly, Claude Monet. Fast forward two hundred years and artists are still contemplating this beautiful organic wonder. Darius Yektai works in his studio in Sagaponack, NY. Tucked away in the woods, surrounded by lush greenery, Yektai delivered this large Oil painting through his deep imagination and with his playful hands. Yektai pours resin onto his painting, and once dried, paints another layer atop the resin, creating a 3-dimenisional, almost sculptural quality to the piece.
Currently unframed, with raw edges.
Darius Yektai was born in Southampton NY, in 1973, to Irani-American parents...He lives and works out of his home and studio in Sag Harbor. He grew up around art and artists, his Father, Manoucher Yektai, 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.
