The exhibition Bitter Angel at Faurschou Foundation Beijing centres on a series of eight large paintings from 1999, which move within these contrasts between life and its seamier sides.

The large tableaux have been executed in Melgaard’s easily recognizable, personal and clearly expressionistic style with firm black contour lines and paint in strong, bright colours in the figuration, with Bjarne Melgaard’s own words and text elements. The paintings can be seen as visual diaries, revolving around art, masculinity, sexuality, and identity.
