AK-47 Concert of Birds
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.
In AK-47 Concert of Birds, Gjoen decorates an AK-47 machine gun with a beautiful pattern depicting a variety of birds, including a regal peacock which stretches from the sight of the gun, to the magazine. By juxtaposing a Fine Art still life with the harsh reality of a killing machine he reminds us that beauty is often dangerous.
This giclee print is from a limited edition of 50, signed, numbered and dated by the artist.
