Bjørn Magnussen PROTECTOR
Each edition begins as a question: What does the material want to become?
Protector... Unconsciously inspired by the Buddha that stood on my mother’s piano in the home where I grew up. That Buddha has always been a protector in our family—almost subconsciously present, standing there for us, or protecting us. I made this piece in Albisola in Italy, first in clay, in an old ceramic workshop. I’ve now titled the work Protector, and to me it carries that same sense of protection, as if it’s there for those who need it.

Protector — new limited-edition bronze sculpture by Bjørn Magnussen debuts via Edition Solenne
Edition Solenne unveils “Protector,” a limited-edition bronze sculpture embodying guardianship and intuitive creation.

Concept & Artistic Approach
“Protector” emerges from Magnussen’s “intuition revolution” — an artistic process that rejects premeditated planning in favor of gut feeling and spontaneous creativity. Rooted in his personal journey shaped by ADHD and Tourette’s syndrome, the piece channels raw creative energy into a refined sculptural form.
The work evokes the sense of a protective presence — the silent guardian. Its gestural quality and patinated bronze surface reflect a duality: a raw emotional core refined into a dignified artifact.
Significance
By releasing “Protector,” Edition Solenne expands its catalog of contemporary art objects exploring materiality and intuitive expression. The edition’s scarcity and the deeply personal creative narrative behind it position “Protector” as a collectible object of both aesthetic and conceptual value.

The patinated bronze surface conveys a protective, archaic quality while maintaining the immediacy of its intuitive origins.",
