Collages

Collages play a significant role, especially in Frank’s books. In his collages, he uses color samples and bookbinding cloth as materials. The use of ready-made collage materials introduces a sense of playfulness and spontaneity into his compositions.

The color usage reflects his graffiti background, and his interplay with straight lines and sharp planes is characteristic of his style. For Frank, creating collages is akin to painting without paint or color. The phrase “Farbe ohne Farbe” from German best captures this concept.
