BIOGRAPHY:
Gilbert Prousch (1943) and George Passmore (1942) form the iconic artist duo Gilbert & George, known for their provocative, often monumental art in which they themselves stand at the center as “living sculptures.” Since the late 1960s they have lived and worked in London, where they met during their studies at Saint Martin's School of Art.

Initially they gained recognition with performative works in which they appeared in sharp suits, moving silently or singing mechanically — a conscious attempt to make art and life fully converge. Later, their work evolved into large photo montages with vivid colors and graphical grids, exploring themes such as religion, sexuality, identity, politics, violence, and urban culture. Their own image appears in almost all compositions, making them simultaneously creator, subject, and symbol.

Gilbert & George position themselves as outsiders within the art world: traditionally dressed, outspoken in their opinions, and averse to fashionable trends. Yet they are among the most influential British artists of the postwar period. In 1986 they won the prestigious Turner Prize, and their work is represented in leading museums worldwide.

Their oeuvre is characterized by a paradoxical mix of formal discipline and substantive provocation: classically styled compositions that do not shy away from challenging subjects. In this way, Gilbert & George have earned a unique, instantly recognizable position within contemporary art.
