About the Item
An abstract oil painting, showing the edge of a blue tied table, porch or pool overlooking an abstract landscape. On the sharp edge of the foreground object sits a thickly painted vase. Broad swaths of blue paint have been troweled onto the canvas leaving exposed canvas and charcoal drawing. The foreground is entirely impasto and the background is painted in much thinner washes of paint, the oil almost taking on a watercolor quality, blurring and layering translucently.
Unframed dimensions - 60 inches by 72 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 ChuckBy Darius YektaiLocated in Sag Harbor, NYAn 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...Category
