Dancer has been created especially for Magnus Gjoen’s 2022 solo show at Enter Gallery, ‘The History of the Future’ – an exploration of life, love, death and art.

Seemingly drawn directly from an archaeological site, Dancer is covered in camouflage, alluding to the need to protect and hide these treasures to preserve them for future generations.

Gold leaf is used to highlight the correlation between money and war, and the threat that war and conflict poses to our art and our history.

This giclée print is hand-finished with 24ct gold leaf. From a limited edition of 10, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist.

The Artist

Magnus Gjoen

Magnus Gjoen’s works examines how to change peoples relationship and preconceived notions of objects. Something which is potentially extremely destructive can be made into beautiful yet fragile objects of art. It’s this misconception of beauty which Magnus Gjoen wants us to see in a different light, be it weapons, animals or the human race itself. The latter is capable of creating immense beauty but also capable of destroying it all. Taking inspiration from street and pop art and juxtapositioning it with fine art, he creates new and modern takes on old masterpieces, manipulating something powerful and strong into something fragile but beautiful. He often questions the correlation between religion, war, beauty & destruction in his art. Magnus Gjoen was born in London to Norwegian parents and studied design in London and Milan and has worked as a denim designer and graphic designer before embarking on a career as an artist.
