About the Item
Darius Yektai's "White Tulips" is a large-scale, layered, oil on resin, on canvas painting.
White Tulips is archetypal in all but scale. Yektai’s statement is clear: he has made it with size alone; here he gives us a super-sized, yet child-like reminder of beauty. The dark backdrop, as in an Old Master’s still life, allows one to contemplate deeply. Thanks to the half-inch layer of resin, one can even see themselves reflected within the canvas, rousing a new introspection, where the viewer actually becomes part of the painting. Thick applications of dark paint, atop the resin layer, delineates a boundary amidst near-opaque obscurity, - limiting our ability to see underneath. However, the use of black paint atop black paint leads the viewer towards a specific subtlety; a deeply examined delicacy which infatuated some of the great modern painters of the 20th century. Ad Reinhardt, was known for his many black-on-black paintings, the subtle variations of darkness being the main subject matter. Mark Rothko’s famous chapel showcases fourteen black paintings. “The chapel has served as a space for personal contemplation, interfaith dialogue and action for human rights” (e.g. Pat Dowell, NPR). It is meant to be a quiet space, where thoughts can grow. These 20th century notions of inner-thought, self-reflection, and the aptitude of an eye’s ability to see clearly, all emanate from Yektai’s large-scale black painting.

Darius Yektai was born in Southampton NY, in 1973, to Irani-American parents...He lives and works out of his home and studio in Sag Harbor. He grew up around art and artists, his Father, Manoucher Yektai, 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.

- Castilleja cruenta standlBy Penelope GottliebLocated in Palm Desert, CAA painting by Penelope Gottlieb. "Castilleja cruenta standl" is a contemporary painting, ink, acrylic and oil on canvas panel in a variety of bright, bold colors by American artist Penelope Gottlieb. After receiving her BFA from the Art Center College for Design in Pasadena, Penelope Gottlieb went on to earn her MFA from the University of California in Santa Barbara where she currently lives and works. Gottlieb’s artistic repertoire is thoroughly modern and includes innovative paintings as well as compelling media design, for which she received an Emmy in the field of motion picture title design in 1993. Gottlieb’s more recent works showcase a unique synthesis of her modern graphic design background and the vintage botanical renderings of natural scientists. However, her paintings are also unique in their perspective on the traditional floral still life. Stylized flora and fauna are depicted as emanating from a comic book explosion, illustrating what the artist refers to as “the dire state of the planet” as faced with species extinction and the resulting biological and ecological ramifications. These violent representations of the artistically typified placid natural world are intended as “visual eulogies for lost plant life.” The particular specimens that Gottlieb depicts are in fact extinct and she is able to recreate them only from historical drawings and botanist’s descriptions. Although avant-garde and aesthetically unique, Gottlieb’s paintings delineate clear influences from the renowned artists of Pop and Expressionist art. The composition of many of her paintings is reminiscent of Kandinsky’s canvas-filling outpours while her bold color palette and black outlines recall Lichtenstein’s comic book panels. Her work is also closely related to a more contemporary group of artists, including Alexis Rockman...Category
