「這座城市的活力、脈搏和能量為我的創作提供養分，不一定是直接的靈感， 更像是一個合適的背景氛圍，使我的藝術冥想更加奔放自由。」 —— FrankNitty3000

“The city’s dynamic energy fuels my creative process, providing a backdrop that complements my meditative approach to art.” —— FrankNitty3000

Why it matters:
生於荷蘭，在世界地圖上縱橫，走過歷史與藝術意義濃厚的地方，Frank最後決定移居香港。於他而言，歷史與現代在這裏交匯、碰撞，恰合他獨樹一幟的藝術風格，為他提供肥沃的土壤作養分，醞釀讓人意想不到的藝術作品。因此，他的個展「RRReality 世界巡迴展覽」將以他的創作基地——香港——為首站，於三月與我們見面，屆時定在藝術界備受矚目。

Born in the Netherlands and traversing the world map, passing through places rich in history and artistic significance, Frank ultimately decided to relocate to Hong Kong. For him, the convergence and collision of history and modernity here perfectly suit his unique artistic style, providing him with fertile ground as nourishment, incubating unexpected works of art. Therefore, his solo exhibition, “RRReality World Tour,” will kick off at his creative base—Hong Kong—meeting us in March, garnering significant attention in the art world at that time. 

3 Hightlights:
．​Frank 與 Dior、Gucci、Tod’s、Louboutin 及 Creed 等世界知名品牌的合作不計其數，Frank的數碼商業藝術別開生面，曾在世界知名的場地，如翡冷翠的Gucci花園中展出， 並在各大國際知名雜誌如Wired、Vogue、Schön!和 Numéro 等發表，一時無兩。他的藝術因此與商業密不可分，但與此同時，他獨特的風格也讓他徘徊於獨立藝術的邊界。他巧妙地運用攝影、拼貼和動態影像，來表達其無拘無束的視野和對自由的追求，突破商業界限。他的作品更沒有忽視消費主義等現實，在商業合作中，竟仍能批判一瞬即逝、物質主義與消費主義至上的奢華時尚行業。因此，作品不僅贏得了高端品牌的認可，也吸引著全球觀眾的目光。

．Frank has collaborated with numerous world-renowned brands such as Dior, Gucci, Tod’s, Louboutin, and Creed. His digital commercial art is distinctive, having been exhibited in prestigious venues like the Gucci Garden in Florence and featured in major international magazines such as Wired, Vogue, Schön!, and Numéro, among others. His art is inseparable from commerce, yet simultaneously, his unique style blurs the boundaries of independent art. He skillfully utilizes photography, collage, and motion imagery to express his boundless vision and pursuit of freedom, transcending commercial limitations. His work does not ignore realities such as consumerism; even in commercial collaborations, he criticizes the fleeting nature of materialism and the supremacy of consumerism in the luxury fashion industry. As a result, his pieces not only earn recognition from high-end brands but also attract the attention of global audiences.

．身兼多職的他遊走於不同創意領域，使其經歷豐富多樣，諳熟不同媒介的創作，亦影響了他對藝術的理解。Frank 的藝術觸覺亦深受 M.C. Escher、歐洲漫畫家如 Moebius、 滑板文化、當代工業設計及時尚印花所熏陶，使其作品橫跨主流文化與次文化的界限，風格自成一家。 Frank 致力在商業作品和獨立創作之間取得平衡，將現有的圖像作品重新演繹，將其蛻變為超現實故事， 展現其駕馭數碼媒介的能力非凡超卓，不但為商業藝術注入新活力， 還引發觀眾好奇他所建構的異世界。

．Wearing multiple hats, he navigates through various creative fields, enriching his experiences and mastering diverse mediums, which in turn influences his understanding of art. Frank’s artistic sensibility is deeply influenced by M.C. Escher, European comic artists like Moebius, skateboarding culture, contemporary industrial design, and fashion prints, allowing his work to transcend the boundaries between mainstream and subcultures, establishing a unique style of his own. Frank is dedicated to striking a balance between commercial projects and independent creations, reinterpreting existing imagery into surreal narratives, showcasing his remarkable ability to harness digital media. His work not only injects new vitality into commercial art but also sparks curiosity among audiences about the alternate worlds he constructs.

．鑒於 2023 年的展覽空前成功，Frank 將展開世界巡迴展覽。「RRReality 世界巡迴展覽」將於 2024 年藝術週期間在香港揭開序幕，其核心理念旨在與當地社區建立聯繫，通過與當地夥伴合作，讓巡迴之旅的每一站都各具特色、朝氣蓬勃，讓觀眾與他的藝術展開發人深省的對話。這場匠心獨運的展覽將帶領觀眾體驗非傳統元素與傳統藝術的融合，引領觀眾進入一個充滿生命力和不可預測的世界，體驗藝術與生活如何交匯迸發出絢麗多彩的火花。

．Given the unprecedented success of the exhibition in 2023, Frank will embark on a world tour. The “RRReality World Tour Exhibition” will kick off during the 2024 art season in Hong Kong. Its core concept aims to connect with local communities by collaborating with local partners, ensuring that each stop of the tour is unique and vibrant, fostering thought-provoking dialogues between the audience and Frank’s art. This innovative exhibition will lead viewers to experience the fusion of non-traditional elements with traditional art, guiding them into a dynamic and unpredictable world, where art and life intersect to spark colorful and dazzling sparks.

Frank 來自於荷蘭，畢業於享譽國際的愛因霍芬設計學院。在過去十年中，他的藝術足跡橫跨三大洲，不但在時尚界 擔任藝術總監、廣告界擔任創意總監，更是一位音樂影片的導演等等。身兼多職的他遊走於不同的創意領域當中，經 歷豐富多樣之餘，亦影響了他對藝術的理解。另外，Frank 的藝術觸覺亦深受 M.C. Escher、歐洲漫畫家如 Moebius、 滑板文化、當代工業設計及時尚印花所熏陶，使其作品輕鬆跨越文化與次文化之間的界限，創意無限。

FrankNitty3000, a visionary artist known for his enigmatic presence in the art world, is Hong Kong’s most intriguing secret. Merging the boundaries of reality and the digital realm, he creates art that challenges, disrupts, and fascinates.

Hailing from the Netherlands and educated at the prestigious Design Academy Eindhoven, Frank’s career has spanned three continents over the last decade. His journey through various creative domains, including roles as an art director in fashion, a creative director in advertising, and a music video director, has enriched his approach to art. Influenced by the likes of M.C. Escher, European comic book artists such as Moebius, skateboard culture, contemporary industrial design, and graphic fashion prints, Frank crafts visuals that cross cultural and subcultural boundaries with ease.

Frank 亦將在希慎廣場舉辦藝術家講座，探討其創作過程和巡迴展覽背後的理念，鋭意透過是次活動讓觀眾以新穎的方式體現數碼藝術，並誠邀藝術愛好者一同探索數位創意的微妙之處。 

Frank will also hold an artist lecture at Times Square, discussing his creative process and the concepts behind the world tour exhibition.
