I STILL LOVE is Franko B’s first solo exhibition in London for seven years and features a new series of embroidered canvases, never before shown in the UK.
The canvases, which depict animals, flowers, portraits and the male body, as well as images of torture and war, return to the central themes of Franko B’s work – death, eroticism, intimacy, pain and compassion. These recurrent motifs find a delicate new means of expression through the exclusive use of red cotton on unprimed canvas.
A bold, eclectic artist, and for many years a leading figure on the international performance art scene, Franko B continues to celebrate and express the beauty of existence in his work, focusing on powerful and emotive imagery. I Still Love follows on from the artist’s recent solo exhibition at PAC (Pavilion of Contemporary Art) in Milan.

Ecclesiastes 3:1, To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Life has many paths that will lead you to different addresses in your life. As you walk down the journey of life you have to understand that each stop is temporal. Life has many curves and not one thing will remain the same because seasons change. However, if you find yourself in a certain season in your life that you dislike do not complain and murmur but embrace the season. Seasons are only for a time and in each season the Lord will use it to help you grow in specific areas in your life. Each season has a purpose and plan for your life. The Lord uses each season to mold us into our set place He has for us at that time. The set place God has ordained for your life is the place you are at now. My pastor has been ministering on the subject of you blessings are in your set place. He has stated your set place is the place where God blesses you. Your set place is where you are fulfilled and your place of obedience to God. But understand your set place is the place the Lord tells you to transcend to not man or your own fleshly desire. When we become the driver of our own path then we will lead ourselves to the wrong place and will not be in the right season. Many Christians miss out on there blessings and the move of God because they are not in the place He told them to go. It is imperative to understand no matter what season you are in at this moment make sure it is the set place God has for you. You may not want to be there but you will reap the acceleration of your fulfillment because that specific season has become your set place.
"Seasons will change, nothing is permanent but with each season embrace it and grow through it. Nothing shall remain the same."
It was in an afternoon of fall. There they were taking a stroll beneath the grandiose trees as autumn leaves fall like snowflakes on the ground. It was a portrait the boy used to paint deep within the walls of his unconscious mind. There were shades and colors every hopeless romantic would dream of laying on their canvasses. Once finished, they just stare at it, fantasizing... desperately waiting for that moment to come alive. The boy was just one of the fortunate few who had his dream come true.
"Let's jump over there" He said pointing at the pile of leaves. "You mean dive? Are you sure?" The girl replied. The boy held her hand, their fingers tight and locked. Then, with a single mischievous smile they ran towards the pile.
They ended up lying on the dirt side by side. They laughed their hearts out as they watch dry leaves fly everywhere. "You should have the seen the look on your face" The boy said. Laughter roared even more! As it seized he turned to her, their faces a breath away. He just stared at her. She wore a face of perfection, a marvel, a sight he only used behold from a distance, a figure he used to steal glimpses of. Now, there he lays, only courage away from a kiss. He was speechless. It's as if he was robbed of all the flamboyant words he knows.
..."I've been saving love songs and lullabies, and there's so much more no one's ever heard before. Something's telling me it might be you, all of my life"
