About the Item
"Patio Lesson" is an vibrant still life painting of large tulips in a ceramic vase, a pianist sitting atop a stool, and a distant landscape of trees on a hill, in the background.
"The Patio Lesson" is a painting created within the artist’s Sag Harbor studio, celebrates Yektai from all angles; large tulips in a white ceramic vase, a distant landscape with trees on a hill, and ghostly outline alluding to a figure seated on a piano stool. A wide-checked tablecloth adorns the surface set for the tulips, each line holding a variety of colors mixed together within the brushstroke. Yellow leaves seem to sprout from beneath the table, signaling a setting abundant with florae. A distant landscape beneath a blue sky peaks out of the upper right background, like a window to beyond from the foreground. This entire composition is Yektais response to Henri Matisse’s 1916 painting “The Piano Lesson” which presents the artist’s living room, a still life atop the piano, seated figures to flank both sides, and a large window, presenting a slanted view of flat “green” allows for only a peek at what dwells beyond. Matisse, who is known for his latent use of vibrant colors instead uses a monochromatic palette of grays. I believe Yektai takes inspirational composition from this 1916 painting, but his palette is inspired by an earlier Matisse circa 1905, The Joy of Life.
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.
