Two recent articles about the works of Norbert Kox, released in December, 2008:
"Masquerade" is an article by David Damkoehler, in the Raw Vision 2008 Winter Issue (December), about Norbert H. Kox's artworks depicting Warner Sallman's Head Of Christ. Damkoehler offers insights into understanding the subversive imagery in Kox's paintings: "In 1992 Norbert H. Kox inherited a framed print, a portrait of Christ that had hung in a prominent position in his parents' home in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This portrait was to inspire a series of skillfully executed works that exploit visual and textual puns to illustrate Kox's deeply skeptical attitude towards organized religion. ..."
"Norbert H. Kox; rebel with a cause" by Eva von Stockhausen, in Out of Art. Magazine for contemporary Outsider Art, December 2008 issue, theme: Religion (3rd year of publication, no. 2- mag appears biannually)

Summary:
Norbert H. Kox; rebel with a cause
When in 1974 a prayer saves him from an acid trip gone wrong, the life of biker and troublemaker Norbert H. Kox (1945) changes. After receiving an inner calling from God, he gives away his worldly possessions and withdraws into the Wisconsin woods. From then on his life is dedicated to studying the Word of God in its original language: Hebrew. Kox aims to unlock hidden messages in the Bible using a digital matrix called the ‘Bible Code’ and to demonstrate links between events in the past, present and future. He came to realize that modern Christianity, as well as secular society, is a vehicle of evil. From Roman Catholic Christianity to the Freemasons, from Santa Claus to Sallman’s popular Head of Christ, occult powers are at work everywhere. Kox makes his findings public through his visionary paintings’(‘apocalyptic visual parables’), his books, website, Myspace page and films on YouTube. pp. 26-28

Out of ArtMagazine for current Outsider ArtWelcome to the Out of Art website. This art magazine is about current Outsider Art in the broadest sense of the term. In Out of Art, Outsider Art is interpreted as a niche in contemporary art. Each issue focuses on a particular theme as well as containing articles on artists, collectors, inspirational locations, publications and exhibitions. The agenda lists current events. Different authors write columns and there is always a poem on the back cover. Articles and features are also summarised in English to widen the readership. Out of Art is published twice a year. Subscriptions are available. Individual issues can be ordered or purchased in bookshops and studios.
