the family dinner after a night in jaïl, 2020

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

Green covers the entire ground, shifting from bright yellow green at the left to dark blue green near the edges. Three elongated pale forms occupy the field. The tallest, at the left, has a smooth rounded bald head with thin grey lines for features and a long white column of a body reaching the lower left corner. A smaller shape in the centre carries a curled white and lavender head above a dark navy shaft. The third, upper right, tapers downward through stacked blue green ovals. A teal curve crosses the lower centre. A dark blue mark sits at the top right.

Green has wrapped everything, three heads float within this colour; all three issue from the same mass and mix back into it. The one on the left is the lightest and most luminous, almost phosphorescent, its eye sockets hollowed.
