Eirik Lyster (born 1985, Stavanger, Norway) work spans across a range of media, including drawing, sculpture, video, and performance. Pop culture, identity, death, and personal iconography are key elements in Lyster´s artwork. His art is metaphorical and poetic, with a repetitive aesthetics often associated with the commercial.
When one looks at the brutal aspects of nature, how death and gore are surrounded by beauty, one sees in many ways how it can be compared to pop culture and medias focus on objects and fame as a phenomenon. Since everything is ephemeral, I think it's interesting to create something that will live longer than a human life(Eirik Lyster).
Eirik Lyster is currently living and working in Oslo.
