About the Item

An abstract oil painting. Diluted red oil paint poured and dripped directly onto raw canvas, oil pastels have been drawn on top while the paint was still wet, allowing it to seep into the oils. Painted in thicker layers onto the canvas are abstracted flowers, in red, white, Naples yellow and Hooker green. Unframed dimensions - 50 inches by 50 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.
