About the Item
"MilkyWay Stargazers" is a contemporary painting by Darius Yektai, made of oil paint, resin, pebbles, cardboard, and plywood.
In "MilkyWay Stargazers", Yektai switches his gaze, from looking down onto bodies of water adorned with waterlilies and willow trees, to looking up at the vast, wide open night sky. Ironically, the artist chose white pebbles to convey the shimmering galactic trail of the Milky Way. Tiny stones that are usually situated on the ground to be stepped upon are instead thrown into the sky. Forms of shooting stars and ambiguous constellations are depicted through cutouts in the base of the “canvas,” which in this case, is cardboard. Two silhouettes stand before the composition, gazing straight ahead at the sky above them. The resin poured atop the cardboard darkens the composition to a rich brown - reflecting the setting of the painting’s environs, including any viewer that comes to greet the painting.
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's most recent body of work is bright, colourful, 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.

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...

Galaxy: contemporary canvas painting w/ imagery of stars, sun, universe & space
By Joseph McAleer
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
"Galaxy" is an acrylic on canvas painting with textured brushwork depicting stars and space in the universe. It is signed on the back. Edges are neatly finished and painted black, so there is no need for additional framing. Every purchase comes with a free, hardcover copy of the beautiful illustrated new book, "Joseph McAleer: Sixty Years."
"Joe McAleer's paintings engage us as participants in a complex perceptual game. Comprised of contrasting patterns of color, texture, and form, which fill the canvas from edge to edge, his restless abstractions elude a fleeting encounter. Rather, they absorb our attention with rhythmic structures and visual anomalies designed to stimulate and perplex our senses. McAleer's kaleidoscopic abstractions have their basis in the humble Modernist's grid,......"
