- About my artwork
- On winning the Grand Prix Osaka Triennial (print) 1997 Saatchi OBE wrote 1998 'I can see why so many people are excited by your work'.Late Dr. Harald Szeemann curator of the Venice , Lyon Biennales wrote Frank is a 'master of still life'. Biennale Florence, 2001. Frank awarded "Lorenzo il Magnifico" prize 2001'.-jurors Prof. John T.Spike, Prof.Barbara Rose , David S.Rubin. Rubin of San Antonio Museum- 'Frank's award-winning works was among the more cutting-edge work on view'. Biennale Florence, 2001. Charles Gerhardt Rump Editor culture. De Welt newspaper 10 /03/06 wrote; the Biennale Beijing 2005, Millennium Museum visitors lined up three rows deep around the photographs of his installations on the seashore. At the Triennale for Printing and Graphics in Cracow in 2006, Frank exhibited another life that has symbolically been regained: "Phoenix Throne" (Phoenix in Jewish Tradition). If there is a recurrent leitmotif in Frank's work, it is an almost obsessive association of death and life. From the concave pieces of palm tree bark that lie at the entrance to his studio he intends to build small boats, which he will have sailing on the Dead Sea. Live sailing on the Dead Sea, life conquers death. Frank is an admirer of Joseph Beuys, whom he had known personally and photographed. And just like the famous German artist, neither does Frank believe in art for its own sake. He is convinced that Beuys transformed modern art into a mass medium, making it accessible to a large public. "I believe that elements of my work are connected to parallel processes, which remain invisible but which crystallize and reveal macro and micro spaces. I work with large sculptures, painting and assemblage, digital graphics and continuously cross borders between genres in order to make radical, ‘violent’ and provocative gestures. On winning the Grand Prix Osaka Triennial (print) 1997 the late Dr. Michael Sgan- Cohen, artist, art-critic,Jerusalem1997 wrote his photosculptures communicate a feeling for volume and sculptural space, projecting a high- resolution sculptural presence; they make an effective and free artistic format, original and interesting. Franks works, sometimes kinky and brutal, sometimes more conceptually driven and even formalistic, once more proved to stand against a varied and international background. He is able to remain original and innovative, both in his photographic and his plastic works.

In their artistic practice computer interference into a photographic picture is successfully applied by Frank Basil Colin (Israel), Waldemar Marszałek (Poland).
"Pollinator,nativitas mortuus"
A digitally worked photo of myself caked with “Dead Sea” healing mud, a signifier in a region of conflict, juxtaposed with a beehive, a productive social hierarchy, teamwork, selflessness a visual metaphor how people value individuality and freedom of choice versus sometimes confronting communities of diverse religious and moral issues dealing with birth &death.
