Cupid, Shadow of the Moon
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.
A modern take on cupid’s bow and arrow, this piece is a play on the old adage that ‘all is fair in love and war.’ While inviting the observer to consider the fine line between love and hate, and what lengths humans are prepared to go to in the name of love, ultimately, the main message lies in the title – that love has the power to conquer all.
This print is from a limited edition of 25, signed by the artist.
