Off the Wall

About the Item

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. Artist Bio 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.

    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. Artist Bio 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...

    By Darius Yektai
    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    A classic Yektai subject of melding flower still life with a landscape background. Land and sea become one as the orchid's form and colors blend into the waves of the seascape. The leaves of the plant start to become the waves crashing onto the shore and the sun could be mistaken for a blossom. Artist Bio 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...
