Magnus Gjoen, former designer for Vivienne Westwood, creates images that are full beauty but also thought provoking. His art explores the interaction between power and fragility, juxtaposing the two states for maximum conceptual effect. Magnus Gjoen’s work blends a range of styles, incorporating a street and pop aesthetic into a fine art approach.

Against an inky-black background the Blue Flower Skull depicts a human skull in profile, plastered with a sky-blue, Baroque, floral pattern, to highlight the gossamer line between life and death.
