Till Death Do US Part
by Magnus Gjoen.
Limited Edition of 125
By telescoping the fragment of a major work of the Renaissance, an emblematic skull and its contemporary aesthetic, Magnus Gjoen combines fragility and beauty. His work frees itself from all spatio-temporal considerations to offer a rejuvenating treatment to a painting from another time.
His ambition is to creating images that are full of startling beauty as well as a profundity of thought.
To our greatest pleasure!

Bio
Magnus GJOEN questions the notions of beauty by juxtaposing a range of styles and media, incorporating a street and pop aesthetic with a fine art approach. His pieces draw on history and allusion, using existing artworks or fragments from the past to create his own, contemporary aesthetic.
Describing himself as an ‘accidental’ artist, Gjoen studied fine art and fashion design which led to a successful career in fashion, working for brands such as Vivienne Westwood.
A move back into the art world came from decorating the walls of his London flat and realising he could do so with his own artworks. Thought-provoking and often-emotional, Gjoen’s art offers a modern spin on old masterpieces or manipulates powerful and strong objects into something fragile yet beautiful. By blending two genres from completely different worlds, his art is about rediscovery, taking things from the past and renewing them for the contemporary market. Breathing fresh air into dusty old paintings found in the far corners of a museum or lending a sense of beauty and grace to typically powerful, even dangerous objects, Magnus Gjoen’s work invites a second look. It’s this ability to engage with the viewer and get them questioning, challenging and thinking that makes him a promising and successful young artist in the contemporary art world.
