Franko B (born 1960) is a London-based performance artist who uses his own body in his art. His work is based on the bloody and ritualised violation of his own body.[1] He was born in Milan, Italy and has lived in London since 1979. He studied fine art in London at Camberwell College of Arts (1986–7) and Chelsea College of Art (1987–90). He works in a wide variety of media including video, photography, performance art, painting, installation, sculpture, music and mixed media.

He performed at the ICA, London in 1996, the South London Gallery in 1999 and 2004, the Centre of Attention in 2000, Tate Modern in 2002, and the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham in 2005. He has exhibited work internationally in Zagreb, Mexico City, Milan, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Madrid, Vienna, Tate Liverpool, the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, Cork, and the prestigious Palazzo delle Papesse, Siena.
