Hidden in Plain Sight
The Hidden in Plain Sight design by Magnus Gjoen is an exercise in revelation and concealment — an artistic camouflage that fragments and transforms historical references into contemporary surfaces.
At the base of the composition lies the famous ceiling of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo’s Allegory of Marriage, preserved at Ca’ Rezzonico in Venice. To this cultured, baroque source, Gjoen overlays two floral still lifes from his private collection.
The result is a layered, narrative wallpaper, where the gaze is continuously invited to recognize, search, and read between fullness and void.
Irregular forms, fluid fields, and painterly traces compose a rhythm that blends ornament and storytelling.
Hidden in Plain Sight is a pattern that encourages one to slow down, look deeply, and be surprised.
In this version, the background takes on a desaturated, luminous yet velvety blue tone, a refined hue inspired by oriental porcelain and mist-filtered skies.
The Nikkoblue color brings visual freshness and tonal delicacy, creating a sophisticated balance with the painterly contrasts of the composition.
The Azzurro Nikkoblue Edition is ideal for contemplative interiors, exhibition spaces, or quiet rooms, where art becomes both surface and presence.
The Hidden in Plain Sight Azzurro Nikkoblue Edition measures 170 × 180 cm and is infinitely repeatable, maintaining seamless visual continuity across the wall.
