About the Item

A representational abstract depiction of "Silver Pond" on Long Island. Darius Yektai dives back into his popular "Silver Pond" palette in this dreamy waterscape. He paints his canvas in oil and acrylic, pours epoxy resin over the composition, then finishes off the artwork with more oil paint. The resin creates a reflective surface between the layers of paint. Yektai has been continuously inspired by Claude Monet's Waterlilies series, and in 2022 has expanded his vision to create a truly unique series of paintings. 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.

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...
