Josefine Lyche (b. 1973, Bergen) is educated from the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts. Lyche explores the relationship between a kind of nonfigurative, post-conceptual painting to a cosmic, psychedelic New Age iconography, mixed with references to a classical painterly visual language with some added esoteric properties. The works display a combination of materiality and striking visuality that points to the belief in a beyond which promises eternal spiritual enlightenment. She primarily works within the field of abstraction, having made a significant mark within painting and sculpture.
Lyches work has been acquired by numerous private and public collections, amongst others Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo, Oslo Municipality Art Collection, Caviar Factory Art Museum, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, KLP and Dnb-Nor.
