The works of Magnus Gjoen challenge peoples preconceived notions of objects by taking potentially extremely destructive objects and transforming them into an elegant and fragile objects worthy of contemplation and admiration. His works manage to capture the immense beauty of an object but also capture the capability it has to destroy it all. His works take inspiration from street and pop art and juxtaposes it with fine art taking old masterpieces and making them new and contemporary. ‘Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead – Gold Leaf’ is signed and numbered by the artist and also comes in a white colour way back drop which is from a Limited Edition of 80.
