Baku Flames International Festival of Creativity and Effectiveness is excited to welcome Street Art Frankey, the visionary Dutch artist celebrated for his clever, humorous, and thought-provoking street interventions. Known for transforming everyday urban spaces into unexpected works of art, Frankey’s signature style blends playfulness with deep cultural awareness, making him one of the most exciting figures in contemporary street art.
With a remarkable portfolio of over 800 public art interventions in Amsterdam and 50 permanent installations worldwide, Frankey has left a lasting mark on cities across the globe. His work, which often incorporates architecture, and sculpture, has been exhibited in renowned galleries and museums, including Wallplay Gallery in New York and Moco Museum in Amsterdam.
At Baku Flames 2025, Frankey will take the stage to present his talk, "The Power of Not Normal Work", where he will explore how unconventional creativity leads to groundbreaking ideas. By pushing boundaries and breaking away from traditional artistic norms, he demonstrates how small yet imaginative interventions can have a big cultural impact. From reimagining street corners to designing public sculptures that bring unexpected joy, his work is a testament to the power of seeing the world differently.
As the founder of creative studio Natwerk and a frequent collaborator with Studio Piet Boon, Frankey continues to challenge perspectives and engage audiences in fresh, innovative ways. His projects, whether a clever urban installation, a seemingly useless invention, or a bold museum commission, encourage people to look at their surroundings with curiosity and wonder.
Get ready to be inspired by his one-of-a-kind approach to creativity and positive disruption. Stay tuned for more details on his talk and Baku Flames 2025.
