Nationality: Norway
Visual Artist
Eirik Lyster (b.1985) primarily works in drawing, also exploring painting, sculpture, and performance. His pieces weave new mythologies into dreamlike settings. Exhibited at venues like Høstutstillingen (2022) and the National Museum's Mellomstasjonen (2018), his work delves into identity, nature, death, and personal symbols. Lyster's art captures the interplay between the spiritual and real, celebrating the beauty within drama and decay. With influences like observing bruises on animal remains, he crafts a unique perspective on impermanence.
Collective Oslo is backed by Oslo kommune, KORO and Adam og Eva.
