- Flo Long
Flo is a British visual artist working primarily with pencil and charcoal. She uses photographic references to draw with hyper realistic detail, with each drawing taking between 40 and 70 hours to complete. Her practice currently explores how value is assigned to objects through cultural context, authorship, and perception. By drawing unexpected and culturally loaded subjects, Flo prompts viewers to question why certain objects are admired, desired, or revered.
Having developed her practice through scholarship, study and commissioned work in London, Flo is now based at Lagos, a contemporary artist-run space in Mexico City.

“I’m drawn to the objects and people we attach meaning to - the things that hold stories, memories, and a sense of personal value beyond their surface.”
