He has been described as "one of Norway's most important artists" and, following the 2014 publicity about his sculpture Chair, "the most famous Norwegian artist since Edvard Munch."

Melgaard was born in Sydney, Australia to Norwegian parents, and was raised in Oslo, Norway.

In January 2014, Melgaard's artwork Chair caused controversy.

Chair is a sculpture of a bound black woman on her back with a seat cushion on her thighs, and is a reinterpretation of a similar piece by British pop artist Allen Jones.

The controversy began when Russian art socialite Dasha Zhukova was photographed sitting on the cushion for a fashion website, resulting in online accusations of racism under the Twitter hashtag #racistchair.

Guardian critic Jonathan Jones suggested that this controversy was a misunderstanding of Melgaard's intentions, and Zhukova said that the photograph of her was "out of context"; the artwork intended to be a "commentary on gender and racial politics".

Melgaard himself released a statement responding to the controversy that was labelled by some writers as "bizarre".

Melgaard has collaborated with Norwegian artist Sverre Koren Bjertnaes in several exhibitions.

The two alternate to work on the same canvas, giving them an expression neither of the artists would achieve alone.
