Tematikken i Bjarne Melgaards bilder kan være kraftig og realistisk, melankolsk og uhyggelig. Og samtidig er den ofte uttrykt gjennom en koloristisk og stofflig prakt. Bildene kan ha innslag av svart humor, gjennom en veksling mellom poesi og karikatur, med ofte provoserende tekster. Den vekten kunstneren legger på formen i bildet gjør det mulig å oppleve den nødvendige avstand mellom virkelighet og fantasi.
