Peggy Franck (Zevenaar, 1978) is a contemporary artist living and working in Amsterdam. She is known for her spatial investigations in which photography, painting, and site-specific installations engage in a unique dialogue. Franck's work explores the relationship between image, object, and space, interweaving photographic recordings and painterly gestures to create new, layered realities.
Her characteristic brushstrokes—seemingly spontaneous—are the visible result of a lengthy and largely hidden process. These paint movements function as gestures, as physical manifestations of her inner world. They work their way across paper, wood, objects, and architectural elements, making her installations appear to move and in constant conversation with their surroundings. This dynamism makes her oeuvre recognizable, experimental, and constantly evolving.
Franck's work has been exhibited internationally at: Arcade, London; Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem; FOAM, Amsterdam; Stigter Van Doesburg, Amsterdam; OUTPOST, Norwich; Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin; Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; Coalmine: Space for Contemporary Photography, Winterthur; Manifesta Foundation, Amsterdam; Middlemarch, Brussels; Crawford Art Gallery, Cork; The Photographers' Gallery, London (SIC), Brussels; and Dorothea Schlüter, Hamburg.
She has also participated in artist-in-residence programs at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, and Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
With her interdisciplinary approach, balance between abstraction and documentation, and ongoing exploration of space and perception, Peggy Franck remains a leading name in the international contemporary art scene.
