ABOUT THE ART
"I’ve created 'Happy Meal' specially for Vertical Gallery’s 11-year anniversary group show. I wanted to offer the collectors something different than what I’ve done so far in terms of limited edition by doing for the first time ever a complete drawing of my “Human of Glass” signature character.
So far I’ve only ever shown sketches or research boards but never a drawing treated as a stand alone artwork. This drawing, through the use of mixed media, allowed me to work more on the glass effect, shadows and volume like I would have on a painting. As usual with my work I rather not share my own interpretation of this work to leave everyone free to interpret this visual in the hope that people can relate to it."

ARTIST BIO
Flog started his series of « Man of Glass » in 2020, from which he developed his graphic signature and universe through his transparent characters filled with colors. The glass is for the human carnal envelope, empty and fragile shell, balanced with the colors symbolizing emotions, feelings, knowledge, experiences and values that make each person unique.
Evolving in grey backgrounds reflecting on how hard the world can be, Flog's "Human of Glass" subtly feed and share their colors by interacting with each other or with the background. While his intention is to let viewers have a free interpretation of his art, yet he sprinkles in his works metaphors, melancholy and messages of hope.
