Amor I – Love Always Wins
Named Cupid (Love Always Wins) this angelic Cupid is seen throwing a grenade of love, rather than destruction. In a world full of technology, Cupid’s arrow is no longer enough and the need to bomb people with love to distract them from their screens is the only solution. The cherub’s mission is to spread love and end conflict, with the ability to establish hope and love within his hands.
RRP £3,500
Amor II – Love not War
Aptly named Cupid (Love Not War), this figurine shows cupid looking at a rocket he has just broken in two. It will no longer be used to cause destruction and pain. Victory over ignorance has been achieved. Love not war.
RRP £3,500
Amor III – Love Over Hate
Cupid (Love Over Hate) shows cupid cutting away barbed wire in an act of love over hate. It symbolises how love knows no borders and his sheer determination to bring unity to the world. Combining the two different materials of smooth and elegant porcelain with the steel barbed wire fencing, symbols themselves alluding to love and hate.
RRP £3,500
The figurines will be available to purchase online and in-store at Harrods. For more information, please visit www.magnusgjoenart.com
