The Colonials XL
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.
The Colonials depicts a couple of status, posing in regal clothing. Their faces have been defaced to make them smiling and silly, hinting at the real humans beneath the polished façade. The piece is a comment on modern life’s obsession with portraying a perfect life over actual reality.
This XL print is from a limited edition of 25, signed by the artist.
