(The Morning After) The Stag Do

The Morning After The Stag Do by Magnus Gjoen is a limited edition fine art print on 310gsm cotton rag. The piece presents a compelling contrast between modern and classical elements. At the centre floats a shiny gold metallic balloon shaped like a smiley face, a symbol of fleeting celebration and modern-day hedonism. Surrounding this focal point are discarded black plastic bin bags, hinting at the aftermath of a wild night. A curious dog peeks out from behind them, adding a touch of playfulness and realism. The setting is rich with classical references: a baroque-inspired backdrop frames the scene, while a Roman bust sits on the table, partially obscured by remnants of the night — a wine glass, scattered oranges, and broken eggs. The juxtaposition of disposable party debris with timeless art motifs creates a powerful dialogue between the ephemeral and the eternal, the sacred and the profane.
