Sevres Grenade
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 Sevres Grenade, Gjoen has decorated a grenade with elaborate designs originally used in a type of 18th century porcelain called, Sevres. Back then, Sevres porcelain was one of the most highly-prized commodities in the world. The piece serves as a reminder of that even beautiful things can prove deadly.
This giclee print is from a limited edition of 100, signed and numbered by the artist.
