Gilbert & Georges

Gilbert & Georges are a duo of contemporary artists. They are best known for their bright colored large scale photo works, called The Pictures. But they began as live performers, a performance called « The Singing Sculpture », but i’ll let them explain it to you.

Since then, the suits they wore turned into some kind of uniform they wear in public appearence. Moreover, they regards themselves as « Living Scupltures », insisting on the fact that everything they do is art.

Later they created their Pictures, large panels of photo works arranged as mosaics or some kind of stained glass. 1994 serie called Naked Shit Pictures will attract media attention, due to the « shocking » content.

They are still productive and exposed arond the world in galleries and museums of contemporary art. I leave you here with some of their MAD work.
