Publicity Poster for - Time Out London, Gilbert & George, Bridge Flagsky Gallery Exhibition
Artist duo Gilbert & George are bringing their vision of the world to a dedicated new exhibition venue in east London, with much of the programme shown for free in line with their "art for all" ethos.
The after-life exhibition works show the pair, sometimes disembodied, amid colourful psychedelic depictions of fruits, flowers and leaves.
Relentlessly exploring aspects of 21st century turmoil, the pictures reveal much about the changing face of urban living and shifting attitudes towards the after-life.
"Most people think of paradise as the after-party," George, 81, said. "The pictures address the people who believe in the after-life with equal courtesy to the people who don't believe in the after-life."
Gilbert Prousch, sometimes referred to as Gilbert Proesch (born 17 September 1943 in San Martin de Tor, Italy), and George Passmore (born 8 January 1942 in Plymouth), are two artists who work together as the collaborative art duo Gilbert & George.
They are known for their distinctive and highly formal appearance and manner in performance art, and also for their brightly coloured graphic-style photo-based artworks.
The artists celebrated their 50th anniversary in April 2023, Gilbert & George opened the Gilbert & George Centre in Heneage Street, London E1 to showcase their work in regular exhibitions and to secure their legacy.
The pair are perhaps best known for their large scale photo works, known as The Pictures.
The early work in this style is in black and white, later with hand-painted red and yellow touches.
They proceeded to use a range of bolder colours, sometimes backlit, and overlaid with black grids.
Their work has addressed a wide variety of subject matter including religion and patriotism. The two artists also often appear in their own "pictures".They have described their "pictures" as a sort of "visual love letter from us to the viewer".
