There Is Strong Shadow Where There Is Much Light – Yellow Online now

There Is Strong Shadow Where There Is Much Light (Yellow) is a limited edition print by contemporary artist Magnus Gjoen. The print is made with archival pigment inks on 308gsm cotton rag paper.

A human skull emerges from inky shadow, its cranium emblazoned with life-like, baroque flowers. Known for mixing the beautiful with the macabre, Gjoen’s print is a modern day memento mori: a reminder of human mortality, but one that celebrates the fragility of being alive through the decoration of blossoming flowers.

Formerly a shoe designer for Vivienne Westwood, Gjoen’s work has subversive style. He likes to play at the delicate boundary between life and death, light and dark, war and peace. Gjoen’s stylish prints have earned him something of a cult following and are fast assuming a collectable status.

From a limited edition of 80, hand signed and numbered by the artist, There Is Strong Shadow Where There Is Much Light (Yellow) is a must-have from one of Britain’s most desirable contemporary artists.
