We The Living Are To Blame For The Painfulness of Death Large
Magnus Gjoen's 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.
This print depicts a skull, composed of cleverly assembled scenes from classical antiques and artworks. Roman statues and cherubs gather around an ancient marble fountain, while lush foliage crowds in at the edges. On a shield, nestled amongst flowers and leaves, Gjoen has inscribed his familiar +MG signature.
This giclee print is finished with UV inks and liquid silver silkscreen. It is from a limited edition of 50, signed by the artist.
Size (cm): 85 x 85
