Darius Yektai "All I Know About Love at Thirty-Six"
Leila Heller Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibition will include over 15 portraits and landscapes focusing on intimate scenes of the artist’s everyday life.
Using camera snapshots as reference, Darius Yektai vigorously covers wood panels and canvases with paint giving energy to quiet poses, exploring shifting attitudes towards his memories, and finding new possibilities for combining the physical and the psychological. One of the exhibition highlight’s, Father Son Father (2009), a loose, open summer painting of the artist, his father, and son relaxing indoors in front of a panoramic view of the landscape, is intensely personal yet resonates with universal meaning.
