Carl Magnus, a prominent figure in the art world, was deeply inspired by the Bauhaus Situationist movement, alongside Jørgen Nash. His artistry evolved in the 1970s, as he delved into spatial displacement and a more muted colour palette. His work is a harmonious fusion of architecture and art, drawing inspiration from geometric forms found in architectural details of buildings and monuments. The staircase, in particular, has become a prominent motif in his captivating pieces.

Notably, Magnus' work is showcased in the prestigious collections of Moderna Museet and Nationalmuseet in Stockholm. His influence extends beyond his artwork, as he served as a guest professor at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin and later as a head teacher of sculpture at the Valand School of Art in Gothenburg. His remarkable contributions led to a professorship in painting at the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, solidifying his position as a distinguished member of the Royal Academy of Stockholm.
