Art Exhibition

When we listen to the music and read the lyrics, we picture it in our heads and wish we could visualize it. Luckily, we have artists among us who do this for us. We hope that the artists we have found for the 2026 edition of the Inferno Art Exhibition will fulfil these expectations. Some of the artists you already know, and we are super excited to present new artists for you as well. As in previous years, the Art Exhibition will be held at The Hub, and this is a great opportunity to bring home some art as a festival souvenir, since the artists will have lots of works for sale.

The Art Exhibition is open to everyone - not only festival attendees, but EVERYONE. You just have to enter The Hub, pass the reception and the lifts, and you will find our exhibition room in the conference area.

Entrance is free, and the opening hours will be 11:00-16:00. There will also be art for sale at Rockefeller, but that is limited to festival attendees. See you there!

Curator: Kirsti Rosseland​

“Capturing people and the world how I see it, often with a darker undertone”

13 years of experience with concert, portrait and nature photography. 

Ina J. Lyngvær (b. 1992) is a Norwegian visual artist based in Geilo. 

Through macro photography, she explores nature and decay, mortality and transformation. She's fascinated by skeletal and organic structures, and reveals the hidden world we often overlook.. 

Christian Asbjørn Voss (b. 1984). Raised in Bærum.

Christian works with wood that he burns himself into charcoal sticks. Charcoal becomes light and darkness. Each work springs from material that once stood alive in Norwegian soil. 

Sara Iuso is an artist from the deep South of Italy whose primary medium has always been tattooing.

For years Sara has regularly tattooed here at the Inferno Tattoo Fair, in addition to tattooing at other black metal festivals in Norway and at some of the finest tattoo conventions internationally. 

In addition to tattooing, Sara Iuso is also a fine artist and will be exhibiting her paintings here for the first time at The Inferno Art Exhibition!  

As a painter she further explores themes of darkness and the beauty of the mystery within it, unravelling the emotions, desires, horrors and imagination that lie in the corners of the mind.  

Using a dark, rich pallet to play with light in such a way that it is often hard to distinguish whether her subjects are emerging from or being swallowed by the vast elusive vibrancy of the void.

With forms rendered so beautifully that the alluring unknown of darkness becomes an invitation.  

Chrigu Blum (41) is a Swiss artist and lighting designer, recognized for his work with the band Zeal & Ardor and many more.

After a twenty-five-year detour, he presented his first cohesive series of independent works in 2025 with the exhibition HERAS at Dead End in Berne; in Oslo, he is showing works from this series, including new pieces outside of Switzerland for the first time.
His career began in concert and theater lighting, where many of his hand-drawn lighting designs developed into independent artworks that gained him international attention, notably from Nena and Moby. In 2024, he returned more fully to painting and developed his own black-and-white technique, inspired by human anatomy and fragmented body forms. From just a few intensive days in the studio, the first series of HERAS emerged, marking the beginning of a new artistic chapter
