W.K. Lyhne

WK Lyhne is a British artist with a Danish surname pronounced Luna.

Lyhne's background includes training as an architect and work at the Royal Academy, as well as teaching at Chelsea College of Art where she is currently studying for a PhD on the image of Agnes Dei, the sacrificial lamb. She has consistently used animals as allegorical representations of our darker selves in her work, which spans various media including video, drawing, ceramics, and painting.

Lyhne's interest in philosophy is reflected in her new approach to painting, which she describes as more philosophical and less confrontational. The bedclothes in her paintings are rendered with the same attention to detail as the figures themselves, creating an environment that is considered at every point. The relationship between the figures and their surroundings is an important aspect of Lyhne's work, as is the rendering of light and shadow.

WK Lyhne's work is characterized by its exploration of the relationship between humans and their environment, as well as the darker aspects of human nature. Her paintings are marked by their fine detail and intimate atmosphere, and she is known for her use of animals as allegorical representations of our inner selves.
