Born in 1972 in Kinshasa. Lives and works in the Republic of Congo.

Francklin Mbungu is a surprising artist from the Congolese contemporary scene. Son of an antique dealer, he started a career as an artists’ agent to then move towards contemporary art by digging a personal furrow, far from the footsteps of the great masters of popular Congolese painting. Francklin plays with scissors and glue… He creates special cutouts in sheets of paper of all colors, and makes collages on rigid cardboard. Characters emerge, here a street musician, there a couple of dancers. Stories are told…
