Gerhard Meling was born in Haugesund, Norway, April 15th 1945. He is a widely-travelled man. Part of his childhood was spent in England,
Egypt and USA. He has since lived and worked at different places in Norway, Denmark, Belgium,
France, England, USA and lately he has spent most of his time in Spain and
Norway. He is educated as a stained glass artist at Lamb Studios N.J. USA,
and has done a number of fine works and decorations, both public and
private. The most important of these are the installations at the United
Nation Building for Marc Chagall, and the Rockefeller Memorial Monastery,
for Henry Matisse.

After working for several
years in this branch of art, he changed media, and it was natural for him to
become attracted to the virgin canvas and the pure primary colours.
His development as a painter began with thorough studies of the ocean, and his
ability to recreate the spirit and atmosphere of the sea, no doubt has the
roots of groving up in this environment, and also his personal experiences
of the sea.
He also painted a lot of portraits at this time, in which he
achieved very promising critics and awards. His expression at this early
stage of his career was post-expressionism. However he rather soon changed
his expression to post-cubism.
In 1989 he invented Cube-Art®. And his first
major work was called "Discubery"®. Since then he has worked with Cube-Art
and has developed this into an interactive art form. An ambitious, proud and
honest artist, his eternal quest for truth and beauty pervades his pictures
in a manner rarely seen in contemporary art |
