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.

By Gao Xiao Yun
Located in Kuala Lumpur, MY
Suzhou landscape is the main theme of Gao Xiao Yun’s landscape paintings. Water, light and times create a diverse scenario of Suzhou riverside towns. Gao features these three elements that form poetic and harmonic rhythm in his landscape paintings. A combination of Chinese ink concept with oil painting techniques is what valued the most by international collectors.
Gao Xiao Yun was born in Shaan Xi province in 1977, China and graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of the China Academy of Fine Art. He has held solo exhibitions in Shanghai and Taipei. He has also participated in the development of the Shanghai Pudong Artist Village and Puxi Art District.
