« Reality + momentary inspiration + photographic collage technique »
Between the real, the surreal and the fantastic. The absurd is combined with the familiar, depth psychology with the joyfully playful. The viewer dives into unknown worlds in which the laws of nature have to give way to the imagination. He then remains connected to the real world and its problems via consciously laid traces of association. My artistic medium is the digital photo collage, which I have been experimenting with for over 20 years. The work always begins with real set pieces, deliberately or spontaneously photographed by me in the "real world". On the computer, pictorial spaces are created in a color culture that is based on the opulence of the "old masters" and conveys a certain timelessness, full of idiosyncratic pictorial inventions and philosophical allusions.
Frank Melech kidnaps to FRANKsREICH - his own domain in which he oscillates between the real world and free imagination, inner and outer world. Reality - plus art history - plus momentary inspiration - plus photographic collage technique form the breeding ground, the architecture and the sky of this realm.

...emerged from the dominion between the real world and free imagination. The block of idiosyncratic portraits shown here works with a modern, color-intensive conglomerate of forms and is an expression of the ubiquitous staging and self-portrayal. In my work, I prefer a gentle irony that carries through to the title of the picture and is more a free association than a concrete determination of content.
