glanz exhibits for unicef

his work has also been exhibited internationally, receiving the kunstpreise “foundation for peace” and the “national award for labor”.

frank glanz (salzburg) created the artwork “kids are future” for the unicef gala ’93, “40 years of unicef germany,” which took place on december 4 and 5, 1993, at the stadthalle in hildener .

the work features symbolic adult faces that express protection and support. international children are depicted as broken, mistreated dolls with expressive faces that reflect the need for protection. just like other minorities, children are often neglected in people’s minds. for this reason, the symbol of the box is used as a protective symbol. on the front of the box, a symbolic man with a hat casts his shadow on the destiny of the child. the box also carries thoughts (ideas), represented as fragile, symbolizing a warning. artistically, the background is painted in indigo-blue. the symbol represents the intellectual element, contrasting with the child dolls, which are illuminated by direct light. the message of the work is emphasized by a silver frame, representing the feminine element, in contrast with the symbolic man with the hat, adding an emotional and sensitive dimension.
