About the Item

An abstract oil painting of flowers on two canvases. The lefthand canvas is full of dense impasto brushstrokes covering the full canvas and creating an undeniable sense of movement. In contrast, the righthand canvas feels very still and quiet, with one tulip reaching across the canvas diagonally to the right. Most of the right canvas shows bare gessoed linen, the uniform texture and the way the petals of the flower touch the sides of the composition deepen the almost sterile stillness. The lefthand canvas feels bursting with life, the patch of black make the viewer feel like the space behind the flowers could go on forever. These paintings are made to be hung together and are bolted together on the back, however they can be separated and spaced out if desired. Unframed dimensions 36 in x 48 in 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.
