Frank Grime

Frank Grime is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the realms of urban street culture and conceptual fine art. Born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1987, Grime’s early fascination with graffiti and hip-hop shaped the foundation for his vibrant visual language, blending bold color, textural experimentation, and layered symbolism. After studying illustration at the College for Creative Studies, Grime honed his practice through a series of collaborative mural projects and solo exhibitions in galleries throughout the Midwest and East Coast.

His signature style combines expressive mark-making with acute observations of societal tension, identity, and resilience, often weaving in motifs from pop culture and social commentary. Grime’s pieces have been featured in both public installations and private collections in cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Deeply engaged with community-building, he frequently mentors young artists and leads workshops, believing in art’s power to provoke dialogue and inspire transformation.
