gary grills cooper, 2026

Acrylic on canvas, 55 × 75 cm (21 ⅝ × 29 ½ in). Painting by Yiğit Özen (decentralize*).

Centred and frontal, one figure fills the height, its torso and arms built from overlapping rounded balls in purple, olive green and grey white. Tufted brown hair frames a broad tan face with heavy brows; a brown cigar angles down from the mouth. A pale lavender collar opens at the neck. Tan forearms cross at the waist, the hand at right holding a thin dark rod. White shorts and pale tan legs continue to the bottom edge. The ground is orange above and paler yellow below, with turquoise streaks across mid height. A black oval pan heaped with red, orange and olive marks fills the lower left corner.

The cigar is the one line segment that does not curve on a surface where every form curves; it descends forty five degrees to the left from the level of the mouth, cuts the left wing of the light-value collar and remains the only unit that overturns the frontally established order, because it has no counterpart in the right half.
