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. The work 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.
