Street Art Frankey

Streetart Frankey is an artist and is particularly known for his street art. With his creations he likes to make people laugh. He has an important rule with his street work: out of love for his own city of Amsterdam, he does not break anything. All his works are attached with tie wraps, magnets, tape or a wire.

What is Amsterdam for you?

"Amsterdam feels like home. At home you feel at ease. Always when I've been abroad or wherever, as soon as I drive into Amsterdam I think; 'yes I'm home again."

What does open mean to you?

"I'm visually inclined, so I am immediately reminded of the signs at the snack bar with "open" on them. That's the best-selling snack bar sign ever. Actually, a snack bar is approachable and accessible to everyone; if it's open, anyone can and may step inside."
