guarding holy mountains from malice

guarding holy mountains from malice, 2019

Acrylic on canvas, 65 × 90 cm (25 ⅝ × 35 ⅜ in). Painting by Yiğit Özen (decentralize*).

Inside a room with red angled side walls, a blue ceiling, a purple back wall and a yellow floor, a red figure balances horizontally on a thin black pole with a splayed tripod base at left. Its head, with yellow spiked hair, faces right and its hand holds a small striped object. A blue segmented tube sits along the left arm. A pale pink chair floats upside down at top centre. At right a large pink mound covered in brown strokes carries a green bush; three blue figures with X eyes stand in a row before it, arms linked, flanked by two blue crescents.

On the right three blue figures are ranged side by side, the same height, the same stance, arms interlocked; all three have a cross in their eye. Sightless guards have formed a chain.
