I woke up one morning discovering that my nice neighbour for
some years had became one of the most famous pop art artists in Oslo. Mr. Werner Kling-
Congratulation! Some make it all the time even if all odds are against them.
The title of the book which was released in 2019 is : « KISS ME MR.KING». What
mission has the book, so far? The content of the book is poems connected to
paintings contenting issues that might have a provocative impression on some of
you – but not all. The paintings and the poems are provocative, colorful and
above all: Funny. Werner Kling has done painting for years. He has got
inspiration for his poems and paintings during his many travels to cities like
London, Barcelona, Paris and Los Angeles. The artist is self taught, so to
speak. No formal education in the field of painting and writing. He is pop
artist who is combining words and sayings with strong colors. He is aware that
some might find his works beautilful but some might dislike his approach to
emotions and people.Anyway -the works are entertaining works contenting issues
presented as a mixture of metal confusion,chaos, personal aggression, non
political,- and a wish to be noticed. It is called Pop art, I think.
Let me quote one poem only:
WE ARE EQUAL
No one was born to be evil.
We were born to be equal.
Some say we are born as unique originals,
But we die as bad copies. True.
We are equal
Thank you, pop art artist Werner Kling.
