I try to create something new, but from something that already exists. The choice of paintings is usually something that evokes a sentiment or an emotion in me. Putting these with other objects not only beautifies the object but makes you look at it in a different light

Magnus Gjoen’s work incorporates a street and pop aesthetic with a fine art approach, combining Renaissance source material with his own distinct motifs and patterns. Magnus Gjoen’s art is the sum of many contradictions, evocative and glamorous yet eerily macabre, and hovers delightfully between styles.

Magnus Gjoen’s art is the sum of many contradictions, evocative and glamorous yet eerily macabre, and hovers delightfully between styles.
Gjoen often explores the relationship between power and fragility through his work, juxtaposing the two states to create the maximum visual and conceptual effect. Magnus sources imagery from museum archives and other fragments from the past to create an unmistakable dissonance within his work. Gjoen had a multicultural childhood, being born to Norwegian parents and living in Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, and the UK. After studying fine art and fashion design, Gjoen turned his attention to the world of fashion. With extensive experience working as a designer under Vivienne Westwood, as well as a denim designer at Lee Jeans, Gjoen certainly knows a thing or two about style. Gjoen’s reinterpretations of skulls, guns, and grenades are created digitally and begin life as a virtual 3D base in illustrator or another design program. From then the artist builds up layers of tone and shading to give the image three-dimensional qualities. Since making the move from designer to artist, Gjoen has built a broad and highly engaged global audience. Since his debut at the Underdog Gallery, Gjoen has had a range of solo shows in galleries worldwide and his work is highly sought-after by private collectors and public clients. Gjoen has exhibited in Milan, Florida, London, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Stockholm. Celebrity collectors include the likes of Kylie Jenner, Graham Norton and Kate Moss.
We love how Magnus' artwork is a flurry of contradictions. Life and death, old and new, glamorous yet macabre: Magnus toes the line between each contradiction, resulting in a completely unique aesthetic. We love how the artist combines Renaissance and Classical source material with his own distinct motifs, hovering between styles and reinventing traditional artistic techniques. Magnus sources imagery from museum archives and other fragments from the past to create an unmistakable dissonance within his work.

AR: What was the inspiration behind your new release? 'What Comes Next Will be Marvellous’ as the title implies, is about the optimism and what will flourish from what is now. The 24ct gold ‘glamouflage’ creeps over the current, not forgetting it, but growing stronger for it. AR: Do you see this work as a continuation of previous work or a series, or a new departure in your practice? I would say it’s a natural progression and fills a gap from what I’ve done before and something new. It's the same but different and bridges the gap of what is ...
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
