About this artwork
It's almost that time again!
Painted on pages from the book 'When the Going Was Good' by Evelyn Waugh... oranges, white, cream and black with a dash of pink, blue and green...
These beautiful pieces ("Bookclubs" as I call them) have a classy or subject relative vibe to them created by the subject matter of the base. They are either produced on (mostly) old vintage or destructed books (I have assembled a large collection) or vintage comics....classic,… yet totally modern. Pop based, often with a with a touch of realism rather than pure Pop art styling.
I often use newly famous novels such as Fifty Shades or Memoires of a Geisha (which I will destructure) thru to books that can be over 100 years old and will feature cover pages and written pages that show their own history. I have seen some gorgeous things over the years inside vintage books as many are from the olden days when a book was a cherished birthday or Christmas present.

« I've learnt not to take life too seriously as no one gets out alive. »
Franko is an exciting Australian painter who was first inspired to create art after visiting a gallery in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife. Now, Franko uses multiple layers to create highly textured and diverse works. Allowing himself to be guided by intuition, Franko's works garner a life of their own before he gently guides them in a certain direction. Franko's pieces, which range from abstract works to pop art, burst with optimism, texture, and electric color.
