Frans Kannik (July 24, 1949 – July 28, 2011) was educated in Serigraph (screen printing) in 1968.
He also studied calligraphy in Oslo between 1971–1974.
As an artist, he was generally self-educated.
He was a multifaceted artist that expressed in a wide range of paintings, graphics, installation art, performance arts and sculptures.
The fact that Frans Kannik was also a sculptor may be difficult for future generations to recognize.
He made numerous sculptures in plastic, gypsum, cement, foamrubber and the like, but all the sculptures and materials from the installations were destroyed after the end of the exhibition.
