| Summary: | Gilbert & George are some of the most iconic artists to have ever lived, with their monumental commitment to being 'living sculptures' and their motto of 'art for all' continuing without fail over the last five decades. Their artistic practice spans charcoal sketches to sculptural interventions; however, it is their expansive, vividly coloured pictures that have become globally renowned both inside and outside the contemporary art landscape. Characterised by concise, often single-word titles emblazoned in bold capital letters, each picture becomes a stage for the exploration of societal norms and cultural taboos. From the mundane to the illicit, Gilbert & George's practice encompasses the full spectrum of human existence, transcending traditional boundaries of taste and propriety. |
