FRANK OCKENFELS 3: TIME SENSITIV

As a highly visual, astute, and rapid observer of the world around him, photographer Frank Ockenfels 3 takes in an abundance of images that serve as artistic stimuli for his creative mind. A process of collision, collusion, and collaboration is the genesis of his creativity, leading to the transformation of a photographic image into something else, a "re-presentation" of what he saw through the lens. It becomes a new form that comunicates a new message, a new meaning; often conveying a more powefully emotional visual statement. The works of Ockenfeil 3 in this book provede a window into his visual thinking, the internal world of imagery and emotions in his mind. Subjected to ink, collage, or paint, the images are no longer just photograps of an individual, but become a more personal statement of who the artist is, of his psyche and as such, creative artistry in its purest from.
