About the Item

"Purple Falling Flowers' is abstract painting of flowers and vines over a pale teal and tan background. Bright green stems tangle together as if the flowers are being dropped over the edge of a cliff, or into surf on a beach. Hints of yellow in the vines help make the purple of the flowers pop. Impasto paint adds dimension to the piece. Unframed dimensions - 60 inches by 36 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. The Falling Flower series from Yektai show the influence of the mid century modern "Action" painters that were colleagues of Manucher Yektai (Darius Yektai's father). We are especially reminded of DeKooning's later work, which was happening out here on the East End of Long Island during Darius Yektai's formative years. 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.
