Gilbert and George

    

Gilbert Prousch, sometimes referred to as Gilbert Proesch born 17 September 1943 in Italy and George Passmore born 8 January 1942 in the United Kingdom are two artists who work together as a duo called Gilbert & George. They are known for their highly formal appearance,manner and also for their brightly coloured graphic-style photo-based artworks.



Gilbert and George's approach to art has always been anti-elitist. There slogan was ‘Art for All’, they aimed to be relevant beyond the the art world. Although they work in a variety of media, but have always referred to all works as sculpture. Between 1970 and 1974 they made drawings ,referred to as Charcoal on Paper Sculptures, and paintings to give a more tangible form to their identity as ‘living sculptures' I like Gilbert and Georges work as it is abstract and colorful.  
This is the original version and underneath is my interpretation...
