A collaboration
between Magnus Gjoen and renowned porcelain manufacturer, Meissen.

The
partnership will see the launch of three new Cupid figurines, addressing
current affairs and bringing to life humanitarian values through the innovative
design of each figurine. Designed to convey an anti-war messaged; the
partnership between Meissen and Magnus Gjoen brings together two iconic names
to create a unique and thought-provoking collection, designed to convey a
message of hope during these troubled and uncertain times.

Since its
foundation in the early eighteenth century, Meissen’s porcelain Cupid figurines
have been iconic collector's items symbolising romance and love. Gjoen uses the
historic Meissen Cupid figurines to convey a message of hope in our modern
times which is rife with conflict and uncertainty.

The
juxtaposition of styles, techniques, and media doubles as a palpable tension in
his anti-war creations. The choice of porcelain as a material for his artworks,
embodies contradiction. Having a high level of mechanical resistance, being
durable but having a soft touch and beauty is the perfect solution for this
thrilling partnership.
