January 8, 1942, Plymouth, Devon, England), whose dynamic and often humorous insertion of themselves into their art proved an important chapter in postwar British conceptual art.
Gilbert Prousch, sometimes referred to as Gilbert Proesch (born 17 September 1943), and George Passmore (born 8 January 1942) are artists who work together as the collaborative art duo Gilbert & George. They are known for their formal appearance and manner in performance art, and for their brightly coloured graphic-style photo-based artworks.
Mostly identically dressed in formal tweed suits, Gilbert and George's genteel, ordered appearance and ascetic lifestyle is curiously at odds with their riotous and often garish works of art. Gilbert & George are iconoclasts, attacking the beliefs that art holds most dear.
Gilbert & George repudiate the reach and influence of art theory as a means of conceiving, creating, ‘solving’ or ‘explaining’ a work of art. Gilbert & George maintain an ideological opposition to formalistic art theory and the reference of art to the history or theory of art.
