His art deals with the dark side of humanity and provides an insight into parallel worlds that exists alongside the world of normality. Artist points to problem areas that have been marginalized by society and which we perhaps prefer not to be confronted with.
Artist’s most famous work are appropriations of a similar Allen Jones series from 1969. The pop art sculptures Jones made in the late 60s, which use women — literally — as furniture, reflect the attitudes of its time and now is represented as a part of Tate collection. Questioning the power of representation, Melgaard investigates the psychological attitude of society to the problems of sexism, racism and the use of the female image in the mass media and pop culture.Выставки
