7 fam board game, 2026

Acrylic on canvas, 80 × 100 cm (31 ½ × 39 ⅜ in). Located in Luxembourg. Painting by Yiğit Özen (decentralize*).

Two figures face each other across a chequered board turned corner on, its near corner meeting just above the bottom edge. At left a large head fills the upper corner, built from overlapping rounded lobes in rose, coral, mauve and ochre with no eyes and no mouth, one white and one yellow ring drawn on it and a pale tapering tube hanging from its underside; below, a dark aubergine jacket with a wide pale lapel line and a long gold wedge down its lower left runs to the bottom edge. At right a smaller head in orange and grey scowls under a dark red cap, the brows knotted and the eyes narrowed, above a wine red cloak with a white collar from which two thin white cords hang into the pieces below. On the board, pink cones each under its own translucent wrapping stand clear of one another; pale blue round heads, some with crossed eyes and some with dots, a small mouth under each, are stacked two and three high and run together into clumps, the densest of them with pointed ears at the right edge of the board. The two sides mix across the middle of the board and nothing stands off it. Behind, a dark grey opening with softly curved edges runs from the top edge down between two flat cyan fields, and a yellow line, a navy band and a warm plane cross the middle of the picture. A pale signature sits in the lower right corner.

Two players lean over a board turned corner on, and of its three corners only the near one is shown whole. The pink cones stand each under its own translucent wrapping, clear of the next; the blue heads are stacked two and three high and in places run together into clumps where one cannot be told from another. The two sides mix across the middle of the board, and nothing has been set aside off it.
