About Frankey

Be it art, architecture, street interventions or inventions – Frankey balances artistic bravado with cultural sensitivity and a healthy dose of lightheartedness. Drawing inspiration from both childhood memories and a youthful fascination with present-day life, his work takes many forms yet is always recognizable through its joyful creativity and subtle touch of mischief. With over 800 street interventions in Amsterdam and 50 permanent global installations, he has indelibly shaped the city’s landscape and beyond. His international recognition is highlighted by solo shows, including those at Wallplay Gallery in New York and Wanrooij Gallery in Amsterdam, alongside museum commissions. As the founder of the creative studio Natwerk and a serial collaborator with Studio Piet Boon, Frankey continues to uplift, expand and evolve. His creations are clever, imaginative and unapologetically cheerful—a manifesto for positive disruption. They’ll strike you with a jolt of surprise and excitement when you least expect it but most need it. Whether it’s a street intervention, a commissioned sculpture, or a seemingly useless invention: his works encourage us to look at our surroundings and the mundane from a place of wonder and discovery. Frankey lives—and works—with an infectious optimism that is rare yet essential in the world we live in.
