About the Item

An oil painting by American Expressionist painter Darius Yektai. In his signature thick application of paint, Yektai molds a vase of flowers atop a simple footstool in primary colors, red, white, and blue. Mixtures of pigments create magenta, and purple or violet hues. The title refers back to Odilon Redon's shimmering early 20th century floral "Bouquet of Flowers" as seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Unframed dimensions - 14 x 11 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.

"Delphiniums In Glass Vase" contemporary expressionist still life painting
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Delphiniums in Glass Vase Double Still Life is part of a series debuted in 2023, where Yektai has inculcated nature—employing the late 20th century effect of including ‘found objects” into his paintings. Here we see actual delphinium stems bursting out of the vase in the foreground. Just to remind us of who is king of the canvas, he rakes the whole composition with wide dashes of paint to emphasize each section’s role. We see black dabs to push back the deep green background, wide white marks to bring the table forward and bright red swashes of oil paint on the right to balance out the composition, creating a flag effect out of the whole painting. Real dried flowers...
