Heaven Lent You A Soul Earth Will Lend You A Grave XL Supply

Heaven Lent You A Soul Earth Will Lend You A Grave XL is a limited edition 3D lenticular by Magnus Gjoen.

Dilated to infinity beyond the limits imposed by the architecture , the original fresco plays with perspective whilst the modern form of the lenticular pushes the games of perspective even further. Displaying a marketing savvy similar to today s Instagrammer or social media expert, the Barberini ceiling offers a masterclass in self promotion & propaganda, a recurring theme and comparison in Magnus work. We think that this obsession with portraying oneself in the perfect light is something new that has come with the age of social media, but in fact, humans have been doing so for centuries.

From a very small edition of 15, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
