Norbert Cox

Background

Norbert Kox was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1945.

Career

He joined the army and, with the help of art instruction books, began painting. Between 1975 and 1985, Kox went through a period of religious isolation, living as a hermit in the wilderness of his personal outdoor chapel known as "Gospel Road". On his return to Green Bay, he continued to work on his apocalyptic, spiritual paintings.

Achievements

• Leaving the biker gang was an emotional struggle, which Kox only achieved through immersing himself in religion.

Membership

While a member of the Outlaws biker gang, Kox began working on custom bikes and cars, soon progressing to painting on other items, creating artworks from rubbish or salvaged objects.
