Magnus Voll Mathiassen (MVM) is an independent graphic designer and illustrator based in Bergen, Norway. Although reluctant to talk about his work, he has contributed to popular iPad app, Granimator, worked on campaigns for Sony and Nike, and collaborated with record labels closer to home. A favourite at Somerset House’s Graphic Arts Fair, Pick Me Up, in 2011, where he exhibited large-scale paintings on silk, this reluctant champion of rigour and craft has a host of new work on show on his updated website. Here’s a sample of the stripped-back but funky aesthetic that MVM is known for.
