There Is Strong Shadow Where There Is Much Light – Red Online Sale

Magnus Gjoen s evocative work treads a fascinating line between humour and horror. By offering a modern take on old masterpieces, and transforming items typically associated with violence into delicate works of art, Gjoen challenges our preconceived notions of beauty. His work combines Street Art, Pop Art and Fine Art sensibilities, and highlights humanity s capacity for creating immense beauty one minute, and mass destruction the next.

This haunting piece, depicts a human skull, its curves accentuated by the colours of the floral pattern. The skull is a recurring motif in Gjoen s art. It works as a contemporary update of the classic Memento Mori – an artistic or symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death.

This giclee print is from a limited edition of 80, signed by the artist.
