Flog

Flog sees people for who they really are. The French painter exposes the emotions and experiences below the surface, bypassing our exterior selves to capture the true essence of our beings.

Flog (born Florian Gaborit) began drawing during childhood, and studied graphic design at Nantes’ École Pivaut. His deft, dazzling blend of aerosol spray, acrylics and oils gained international attention following the 2020 introduction of his signature Human of Glass character, within whose transparent body the colors of life swirl and splash. “The colors inside the Human of Glass symbolize the emotions that we feel, or the knowledge and the values that were transmitted to us and that make each of us unique,” Flog explains.

Vertical Gallery first exhibited Flog’s work on American shores in 2022, and presented the artist’s debut U.S. solo showcase, the sold-out ‘Rewind,’ at SCOPE Miami Beach 2023. Vertical and Flog re-teamed again in spring 2025 for his first New York City solo show, ‘Hand in Hand’, and he closed out the year as one of 13 artists exhibiting with us at Aqua Art Miami 2025, where his work sold out in a matter of hours.
