About the Artist
About the Artist
Joe Horner captures the beauty of flowers and fruits through photography, creating art that outlasts their natural lifespan—a metaphor for eternal youth and optimism. His work embodies a dynamic and ever-evolving process. Beyond the aesthetics of his floral compositions, Joe Horner has developed a signature photographic style that invites viewers on a meditative journey into nature.
Inspired by the brand, Joe Horner created the art piece “Celebration of Spring” for Somersby, a frozen composition of fruits and flowers presented in his signature surreal and unexpected style through both video and photography. Joe Horner interpreted the brand with vibrant flowers and fruits, which naturally fits with Somersby’s vast portfolio of flavoured fruity and refreshing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages inspired by natural fruits.
This collaboration is a celebration of spring, toasting the moment when sunlight breaks through the leaves, and nature awakens after winter.
Through this process, I have tried to provide a unique vision of what Somersby is, to express something exciting and fresh.
In celebration of the launch of this collaboration, Somersby has brought to life the experiential element of the execution, erecting a beautiful greenhouse on the Carlsberg Group central office grounds in Copenhagen.
