ABOUT THE ART
Magnus Gjoen's latest release, the Sèvres Basketball, is a bold fusion of high art and contemporary culture. This unique piece reimagines the traditional elegance of Sèvres porcelain in the form of a basketball, adorned with intricate, classical motifs reminiscent of 18th-century design.
Gjoen’s work playfully contrasts the ornate, delicate nature of porcelain with the rugged, urban energy of a basketball, creating a provocative commentary on the intersection of art, luxury, and everyday objects. The Sèvres Basketball embodies Magnus Gjoen’s signature style of blending the past with the present, making a statement about the fluid boundaries between high culture and popular culture.
