Mr. Kling is a Norwegian artist of the new age. In a time when young adults

have not experienced living without the internet. In a time, and in a country

where Maslow's hierarchy of needs appears as a prehistoric social model

and where the possibilities are endless and new climbs are about getting

"likes" in social media.

Mr. Kling's paintings are a modern form of pop art, with clear

references to both popular culture and modern art history. Mr. Kling

has a look for composition, an inclination to provoke, and an urge to

convey a message. His paintings are both superficial as a glossy magazine

while having a slightly subtle depth and a meta-language associated with it.

 

Mr. Kling is a brand, but the stories and opinions are authentic, based

on his own life, thus giving credibility to his artistry. To live by the art of

today, not only is it possible to paint - you don't even have to be able to paint. But being able to succeed as an artist is a complex affair and is all about marketing, profiling, message spreading, networking, and presence.

​

Mr. Kling has totally understood this and we are predicting a brilliant career in the art world. He is determined and ambitious, aiming for an immediate international breakthrough.

 

And again, just to be clear, Mr. Kling can paint!
