Josefine Lyches Untitled Series is the foundation for this exhibition. A series that she has been working on since 2006 until present day. Anyone who has been in the presence of one of her Untitled Series works know that they are both mindbogglingly mesmerizing, beautiful and contemplative at the same time. Its tempting to see them as modern day Rothkos. Huge, expressive works, true, but they also do promote a kind of deep introspection in the viewer.  I think Tommy Olsson once called Josefine Lyches works Psychedellc Minimalism, and if he didn´, well then I guess I am now.
