Lars Korff Lofthus (b. 1978) is educated at The Art Academy-Department of Contemporary Art in Bergen and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.

Through his research into folk art, rural culture and masculinity, he illuminates the relationship between place and identity with a queer desire as a driving force. Traditional tapestry and rose-painted cabinets are woven together with beards and hairy chests, wrapped in a neon-lit, sensual western Norwegian landscape. The painting itself becomes a sensual exploration of shapes, lines, colors and surfaces. The artist's visual signature shows a desire that is reflected in delicate color pigments that shimmer and melt together in composed surfaces. The experience of Korff Lofthus' paintings alternates between being dependent on and independent of the motifs, and the attraction can lie in both the texture and the content.

Korff Lofthus has an extensive exhibition practice, and is also involved in writing, communication and curating. His works have been purchased by, among others, the National Museum, Kode, the Municipality of Oslo, the Equinor Art Collection, and the University of Agder.
