AFK is an anonymous street artist from Norway. He is known for his large murals and classic monochrome stencils, often with just a touch of pink colour and laced with political undertones. He provokes a response from the audience with humor and mysterious encrypted messages on the walls.
In 2013, the first paintings with the signature AFK appeared in Bergen. The artist's technical skills, high productivity and accurate social commentary were noticed. Many paintings reflect vulnerable children's position as refugees, heirs to the climate crisis, or victims of human trafficking.
The name AFK was originally a reference to the internet jargon "Away From Keyboard", but was later changed to the initials of the pseudonym "Alex F. Knudsen".
AFK has a clear social and global commitment and has worked with street art in many European countries.
