Details — Click to read

Gjoen is a contemporary artist who urges us to question our ideas surrounding what constitutes beauty by offering modern takes on old masterpieces.

Do Not Go Lightly into That Good Night is Gjoen’s play on Dylan Thomas’s classic poem, which encourages us to see life as precious, and to fight for it with everything we have.

By projecting a classic painting onto a rabbit and the surrounding butterflies, Gjoen leads us to ponder what we place more value on, life or art?

This giclée print is from a limited edition of 30, 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.
