After an early debut at Oslo’s prestigious exhibition høstutstillingen at 17, he went on to study at Einar Granum’s school of art (1996-1997), SHKS (1997–2000) and the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts (2000–2004). He has since attracted acclaim on a national scale and has sold works to the National Gallery of Norway, the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum and Drammen Museum. "The Piper"s Call" exhibition contained artwork that "challenges the viewer to reflect on the good and evil," according to one review.
Malling made his fifth appearance at høstutstillingen in 2010, as well as a solo exhibition at the Kunstnerforbundet in Oslo.
In 2011, Malling had another solo exhibition called "The Seasons Have Number Fear," at the Galleri Thomassen in Gothenburg. The exhibition featured drawings representing the banality of popular culture, exemplified in works such as Malling"s "Hotel California Postcard".
