About the Item
An abstract oil painting, broad swaths of blue paint poured and spattered onto a raw stretched canvas. White paint has been blended into the blue at the "base" of the composition, base being in quotations because this piece can be hung in any orientation. In the upper right of the composition thick paint has been applied in wide curving stripes. Around these white strokes, oil binder from the thick paint has soaked into the canvas making the already warm toned canvas darker with oil. Hints of magenta and ultramarine blue peak out from the white paint, as you look closer you see other colors faintly in the paint as well.
Unframed dimensions - 72 inches by 60 inches
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.

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.

Kamiland
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.

Blue Splash
By Dan Christensen
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Dan Christensen (1942-2007) is widely recognized as one of America’s foremost color abstractionists. Over the course of forty years as an artist, Christensen was devoted to exploring and expanding the constantly shifting trends of 20th century abstraction.
Christensen established his reputation at the end of the 1960s, as began using spray guns to create colorful stacks, loops, and lines in his artworks. This body of work was considered by the legendary art critic Clement Greenberg among the most original abstract paintings of the decade.
Unlike many of his contemporaries who dedicated their practice to a signature style, Christensen was unrelentingly curious and allowed his dynamic version of abstraction to evolve as he tried new techniques and aesthetics.
During the 1980's and 1990's in particular, Christensen focused on experimenting with different forms of washing, spraying, and layering colours over top of each other. The works from Christensen's late period combine the gestural drama of Abstract Expressionism with the stained surface look popularized by the color field artists.
The aesthetic complexity he achieved with these combined techniques are perfectly demonstrated in this later untitled work (aka "Blue...
