About the artwork
Flog's work features a child with a translucent head and partially anatomical body, concentrated behind the wheel of a cobbled-together cardboard car. The intense blue background accentuates the subject's legibility and isolation, giving the scene a playful yet contemplative aspect. Playing with the codes of childhood, dreams and transhumanism, Flog addresses the fragility of the imaginary in a cardboard world: handmade, precarious, but charged with hope and projection. The contrast between the character's detailed, almost clinical anatomy and the naivety of his vehicle evokes a tension between technology and innocence, vulnerability and invention.
Expert opinion
With this piece, Flog manages to combine gentleness and complexity: beneath the apparent candor of children's play lies a subtle reflection on the human condition, between biological fragility and the power of the imagination.
About the artist
Florian Gaborit, aka Flog, is a French artist born in Cholet in 1984. Fascinated by drawing from an early age, he studied graphic design at the prestigious Pivaut school in Nantes. Influenced by graffiti and pop culture, Flog creates dreamlike, romantic and sometimes sarcastic works. His art invites viewers to interpret stories without words, focusing instead on the atmosphere and context surrounding his figures. These scenes offer an immersive, almost unsettling narrative, allowing the audience to create their own emotional connection to the work. Flog's art is defined by his mixed techniques involving spray paint, acrylic and oil, applied to a variety of media, such as road signs and canvas. The result is art that is as technical as it is expressive, revealing his mastery of multiple mediums and his unique ability to combine street art and classical art.It is through his "Hommes de verre" series, initiated in 2020, that he creates his own graphic identity and artistic universe. He has exhibited in a number of international galleries, including Verticale Gallery in Chicago in 2023, Exclusive Urban Art Gallery in Rome in 2023 and GCA Gallery in Paris in 2022.
