Magnus Gjoen

Artist

His works are part of the permanent collections of the Haifa Museum of Art and the Daimler Collection, and he has collaborated with prestigious institutions such as the Meissen porcelain manufactory and London’s Wallace Collection.His artistic research challenges the perception of beauty, assembling historical elements with pop, street, and contemporary aesthetics. Gjoen’s pieces take powerful objects — weapons, portraits, sculptures — and transform them into fragile, poetic forms through visual collage, symbolic motifs, and evocative camouflage.
