Magnus Gjoen - former designer for Vivienne Westwood - knows a thing or two about style. Having recently turned his hand to the art of print making, Gjoen creates images that are full of startling beauty as well as a profundity of thought: his art explores the interaction between power and fragility, juxtaposing the two states for maximum conceptual effect.
‘Dei Gratia Paperweight’ is a heavy, glass paperweight, lined with the image of a human skull. Gjoen has decorated the deaths-head with a detail from a Baroque painting, letting it melt into the inky black background for an almost illusory effect. A beautifully tactile work of art, Gjoen’s paperweight is the ultimate memento mori.
