The Ambassador's Wife
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.
While the subject of the portrait in The Ambassador’s Wife appears outwardly respectable, look a little closer and you’ll she is wielding an Uzi submachine gun. The piece is a reminder to consider woman as individuals rather than ‘just’ wives, and of the immense power women hold within.
This giclée print is from a limited edition of 30, signed by the artist.
