This is the first full monograph on the Norwegian contemporary artist, Bjarne Melgaard. His critically acclaimed and highly provocative work will appeal to his substantial following plus fans of the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman (whose subject matter is often deliberately shocking). Melgaard's varied collaborations have gained him a following outside the artworld, especially within the fashion industry and his frequent media coverage make this book relevant to wider pop-culture audiences. The first full monograph on the world-renowned Norwegian contemporary artist Bjarne Melgaard, whose work ranges from Dubuffet-inspired oil paintings to seemingly chaotic installations dealing with subjects like race, addiction, homoeroticism, and AIDS.
