Moogly (France)
Acrylic, resin and collage on cardboard
Size: 17" x 17"

French graphic designer, illustrator, and painter Moogly creates semi-abstract "humanimal" portraits. His textured, splattered animals have oddly complex human expressions from bewilderment to apathy. Using acrylic, lacquer, and resin, he positions the monochromatic characters against a black void, allowing the eyes, marked by two machine washers, to speak. Moogly is deeply ashamed of the environmental harm caused by humans, so he allows animals to reflect this emotional damage back at us.
