This artwork playfully and ironically explores the idea of discretion and secrecy. At the center stands a parrot – a bird known precisely for repeating everything it hears. Surrounding it is the bold statement: “I’M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THAT SHIT.”

The humor lies in the contradiction between the… message and the nature of the parrot itself. While it claims not to repeat anything, that is exactly what it does best. This piece makes the viewer reflect on trust and communication: those who claim to be discreet aren’t always so.

With a sharp nod to gossip culture and the way information spreads, this artwork blends humor with a subtle commentary on social dynamics.

« In my art, I transform discarded materials into bold, playful pieces that invite humor, chaos, and interaction. »

Frank Willems creates ever-evolving art that blends urban art, pop art, and neo-expressionism. Working intuitively, he plays with visual language and text, balancing humor and seriousness, chaos and structure. Reclaimed wood forms the foundation of his work, adding raw character to his colorful compositions filled with cartoonish figures, skeletons, and animals. Nostalgia, memories, and social themes are transformed into a visual language that is both familiar and alienating. His use of an inverted ‘e’ and crossed-out words sparks curiosity and invites deeper reflection. Humor, satire, and self-mockery are central as he challenges viewers to look beyond the cheerful surface. Increasingly, he integrates interactive elements, allowing the audience and environment to shape the artwork. His pieces have been exhibited internationally and auctioned by Christie’s, and are held in collections around the world.
