Gjoen's latest Valentine's print, titled 'You and I are Earth ,is a poignant portrayal of love encapsulated in a still life. At the center of the composition stands a vibrant red heart, seemingly pulsating with boundless affection within the confines of its stand. The heart's symbolic significance is heightened by Cupid's arrow piercing through it, a visual representation of love's transformative and sometimes piercing nature. Gjoen masterfully captures the delicate balance between the constraints of reality and the overflowing emotions of love, creating a captivating and thought-provoking piece that resonates with the complexities of romantic relationships. 'You and I are Earth' invites viewers to contemplate the intricate dance of passion and the enduring strength that love embodies.
Gjoen, a London-born artist of Norwegian descent, has crafted a distinctive path that bridges fashion and fine art. Having studied fashion design in London and Milan, Gjoen began his career working with fashion icons like Vivienne Westwood before transitioning into art—a shift sparked by decorating his own London flat with his creations. Drawing from his multicultural upbringing across Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, and the UK, Gjoen fuses street and pop aesthetics with classical art to question themes such as religion, war, beauty, and destruction. Describing himself as an “accidental” artist, he breathes new life into old masterpieces, manipulating historical artworks and powerful objects into pieces that are fragile, beautiful, and thought-provoking. His work offers a modern reinterpretation of the past, challenging viewers to rediscover and reexamine what they think they know. Exhibited globally and included in prestigious collections such as the Haifa Museum of Art and the Daimler Collection, Gjoen has also collaborated with institutions like Meissen and the Wallace Collection. Each of his artworks comes personally signed, accompanied by a Certificate of Authentication, affirming both its originality and its resonance in the contemporary art world.
