Norwegian artist Melgaard (born 1967) lives and works in Oslo but had spent several years in New York. His work, eschewing political correctness and societal norms, is often sexually explicit. Melgaard's works are regularly exhibited internationally, including at several global biennals, garnering fame for his bustling expressionistic works and constructed environments incorporating a variety of media. Among the irresistable chaos of his ouevre lies a common thread of fantasy, personal iconography and male bravado masking vulnerability.
