28/52 Frankey's Cube - a photo on Flickriver

52 Weeks Project

Since March this year I started to follow Streetart Frankey and hunt for his work...
Location: Vijzelgracht (metro entrance) corner Prinsengracht, Amsterdam center.
Coordinates: 52°36'19" N 4°89'14" E
Reason: Streetart Frankey is one of my favorite Dutch street artists at the moment. He is giving the city little often unremarkable surprises. Every week a photo with one of his recent works appears in the supplement to the newspaper Het Parool. A great opportunity to take a closer look at his work. Sometimes you have to search to find it and sometimes it is already gone.
Rubik's Cube: This Rubik's Cube popped up in the morning of 11/07/2020 in the Vijzelstraat and I immediately went to the scene to take a closer look. Frankey was inspired by Rubik Cube for this art object which is actually a fire hydrant cupboard.
The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the Magic Cube, the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp. in 1980 via businessman Tibor Laczi and Seven Towns founder Tom Kremer. Rubik's Cube won the 1980 German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes had been sold worldwide, making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy. More information about Rubik Cube: Wikipedia - Rubik Cube
Streetart Frankey: Street Art Frankey (pseudonym of Frank de Ruwe) is a Dutch artist who wants to positively influence the street scene with relatively small and often inconspicuous works of art.
He grew up in Nijmegen, father was an inventor at Philips Netherlands. He studied at Delft University of Technology (Industrial design). In daily life director of and working for design collective Natwerk. In Amsterdam, many of his works in the street art category can be found on buildings, streets and bridges, often in addition to existing building elements. He himself about his work;
"I want to push boundaries. Art has no boundaries, that's why I like it so much."
In 2019, a special page has been dedicated to his art in Het Parool for a number of years; first he took care of that section himself, later he had to leave that work to others because of busy work. A little later his work Eberhard van der Laan appeared above the entrance of Paradiso.
One of the works that inspired him is the Boomzagertje in the Leidsebosje, a work by an as yet unknown artist.
