Bjarne Melgaard (born 1967) is an artist based in Berlin.
Melgaard was born in Sydney, raised in Norway and works and lives in Berlin. [1] Early in his career Melgaard created controversial installations referencing subversive subcultures such as S&M and heavy rock music.[2] Currently, his practice consists of an emphasis on expressionistic paintings and drawings, often containing text.[3]
He studied at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam from 1991-1992 and at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht from 1992-1993.
