The artwork titled “My Colorful Family” was created by Charles Long in 1998. This sculpture falls under the Post-Minimalism art movement. The piece is a vibrant representation of familial connections through abstract forms and vivid colors.
The artwork comprises five distinct, organically-shaped sculptures mounted on a plain white background. Each sculpture is of a unique color—orange, blue, green, brown, and red—arranged vertically. The sculptures feature a variety of fluid and flowing forms that appear to loop and intertwine, symbolizing dynamic relationships and continuity. The overall composition evokes a sense of playful yet intimate interaction, emphasized by the bold and contrasting colors.
