About the Item

An abstract painting that focuses on slight shifts in hue to set mood. The artist, being a surfer himself, imagines a wave of red and pink hues in this smaller scale abstract painting. The large horizontal brushstrokes of oil paint fill the entire canvas. A single brushstroke of dark red cuts through the lighter pink band of color towards the top of the composition, hinting at the shadow under a curl of a wave before it breaks. Unframed dimensions - 18 inches by 18 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.

Kamiland

Yektai captures the transient shapes and textures of the Atlantic's waves that, as a surfer, Yektai is particularly attuned to.

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...

Instead of reproducing directly visible phenomena, he draws and paints, with his own unique absoluteness, situations that evolve before his inner...
