Magnus Gjoen's latest creation reimagines Matthia de Medici through a vibrant pop-art lens. This full-length portrait bursts with bold colours and is uniquely accented by a hand-drawn crayon outline encircling the figure. Offered in five distinct colour variations, the piece exemplifies Gjoen's signature fusion of historical subjects with contemporary aesthetics.
Living between London and the countryside near Florence, Gjoen draws deeply from the cultural and artistic heritage of the region. His connection to Florence and the legacy of the Medici family informs much of his work, lending it a rich historical undertone that contrasts beautifully with his bold, modern execution. This piece continues his exploration of reinterpreting classical iconography for the contemporary viewer.
