3 to 1 in Groovy Green 1995

Charles Long’s 1995 sculpture, “3 to 1 in Groovy Green,” is a large, green, biomorphic form resting on a table in front of a red couch. The piece evokes a playful yet slightly unsettling feeling, questioning the boundaries between natural and artificial objects. The sculpture’s smooth, glistening surface and bulbous shape suggest a living organism, while the simple wooden furniture and the black wires that extend from the form create a sense of domesticity and technological intervention. Long’s work often examines themes of identity, representation, and the body, inviting viewers to consider the complex relationship between form and meaning.
