You Don t Find Light By Avoiding Darkness Two Dogs 2019, Small Fashion

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 piece depicts two large dogs, holding a lead with a key on it between them. One dog is constrained by the lead, the other is free, and holding his friend’s potential ticket to freedom in his fearsome jaws.

This giclée print is from a limited edition of 50, signed by the artist.
