Franko B. was born in Milan in 1960 but has been living in London since 1979. He uses his body as his medium of artistic expression as well as video and multimedia. During his live performance work Franko will literally bleed himself until he passes out, with a mission statement such as "I feel empty;" his art is shocking and thought provoking.

As well as his blood letting Franko is also heavily tattooed with the red cross a very personal and repeated motif.
