Artists You should Know #1 : Gilbert & George

Okay I'm not going to go into too much detail with these. I really just want to introduce these artists, if you're interested, do the research on your own. High schoolers will probably use these to impress their art teachers, I know I did...

So....

Gilbert Proesch (Sept.17,1943) and George Passmore (Jan.8,1942) are two contemporary artists who work together all the time.

That's right, two men, one artist.

The two met at St. Martin's school of art and years in an interview for the televised show Imagine they stated that part of the reasoning behind the idea of 2 men and one artist is "The art world is a very lonely one, one asks a question and no one answers, with two artists it's very simple, one asks a question and the other responds right away"

The Work: They often are in their huge stain glass like pictures. The imagery is shocking at times, with nudity, sexual acts, feces, and other bodily fluids that are composed together in such a beautiful way, that by the time you realize what you're looking at, it's too late. That's what happened to me XD. Examples -
