About the Item

The latest water lily painting from Contemporary artist Darius Yektai (b. 1973 / Southampton, NY). A scarlet pond, or a red body of water is made with resin and layers of paint. Lily pads and willow tree branches are thickly painted in a light blue and white, contrasting with the deep lush red. Framed in a maple floating frame. Artist Bio: Darius Yektai was born in Southampton NY, in 1973. He lives and works out of his home and studio in Sag Harbor. Surrounded by the arts in his youth, Yektai absorbed the rich creative culture of his home, shared with his Greek-American Mother, and his Father, Manoucher Yektai, an Iranian who emigrated to the US during the Second World War, who was a prominent Hamptons AbEx painter among the likes of Jackson Pollock and Willem De Kooning. Throughout Darius’s journey as an artist, he has explored unique and inventive methods of handling paint, reconciling subject and message, searching for a balance between representation and expressionism. While Yektai has naturally picked up some instincts from his father, he continues to push even further into a style that is now completely his own. A signature technique of his is the thick impasto application of oil paint, followed by layers of resin, which are then painted over, creating space and dimension within the plane of a canvas. As such, his paintings transcend the 2-dimensional and often lean sculptural, combining paint with found objects like broken ceramics, strips of canvas, and natural materials. He's creating sculptural paintings that like to be walked around and can't only be read from left to right; These paintings must be examined from surface to base, from section to section, and finally as a whole. While many of his paintings are grounded by observational elements like the still life or landscape, Yektai manipulates these spaces through the process of abstraction, leaving us with complex compositions, engaging and sensual surfaces, and bold color combinations that leave us asking, what will he do next? Yektai’s recent body of work requires us to take a literal step back; These paintings are large, bold, the colors synthesizing an abstract song about nature and feeling. Up close, we can investigate his decisions in the artistic process, but from afar, we recognize the prodigious skill of an abstract composer. In this new work, Yektai also returns to an iconic subject that he’s reignited our passion for, the water lily landscape, with these rich, moody, powerful paintings that continue to draw us in.
