MR KLING: PAIN GALLERY -OSLO

The POP ARTIST WERNER KLING

Oslo:Pain Gallery

The painting workshop

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in United Kingdom and United States during the late 1940s. Pain gallery in Oslo is situated in the center of the city close to the sea at Aker Harbour. Werner Kling is presenting his pop art at the Pain Gallery. To-day he took me to his workshop for painting at Nordstrand, and also to his the gallery in Oslo. Werner Kling used to be a close neighbour of mine. He is still living not far from my home at Nordstand a suburb of Oslo. It is a nice experience viewing his pictures contenting provacative issues and impressions.

Pop art is a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass culture. Werner Kling has also a gallery in London and in USA.I am very impressed by his work: No formal eduction in the field of painting but a strong wish to express the feelings of his generation without any political statement. Take a look at the paintings.
