About the Item

A contemporary oil painting on linen by American artist A.J. Fries. Artist’s Statement: These works are an extension of a small series of realistic paintings that I did of graves in snow. I’ve always been fascinated by gravestones, specifically stones that have worn away so that no information remains on them. In a way they become markers for not just a specific person, but symbols for everyone's mortality. In these paintings I’ve reduced them to their simple shapes, devoid of any detail. The stones, sometimes in large groups randomly heaped, sometimes alone, become characters in an ambiguous landscape symbolizing our individual struggles with mortality.

"Daniels Lane" contemporary oil on resin painting colorful modern farm landscape
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of a landscape in Sagaponack NY. Lines radiate across the canvas towards the bottom and right side of the canvas in shades of yellow, brown and orange, indicating rows of plants or tilled soil in a field. The field is surrounded by lush thick brush-stokes in shades of green flecked there and there with bright orange. The top fourth of the painting shows the sky, full of points of paint, most under the resin. The white dots above the resin cast shadows below, adding dimension to the piece. The two radiating lines that surround the lower righthand corner are also painted above the resin, one white and one a swirl of primary colors loosely mixed together. The raw white gessoed linen canvas is clearly visible between the precisely placed brush-strokes, all sealed under resin...
