The Singularity of Gilbert & George
This exclusive drop features five legendary artworks from different eras of the pair’s career. The collection includes two triptychs and two solo decks (each limited to 50). GILBERT & GEORGE have also created a one-of-one hand-signed edition of the ‘NINETEEN’ solo deck, uniquely shaped like a coffin to further emphasize the dark yet contradicting themes of the sepulchral nature of the artwork.
GILBERT & GEORGE are two men who together are one artist: GILBERT & GEORGE. The vision of GILBERT & GEORGE is their art, of which they are the embodiment. Therefore GILBERT & GEORGE are the art of GILBERT & GEORGE. The art of GILBERT & GEORGE is based upon feelings, thoughts, and intellect. GILBERT & GEORGE are a total modern independent visionary artist, alone. The vision of GILBERT & GEORGE is firstly their singular and particular way of seeing, experiencing and celebrating life. The vision of GILBERT & GEORGE is also and simultaneously their way of seeing and creating art. The inspiration and subject of the art of GILBERT & GEORGE is modern life. The life of GILBERT & GEORGE is art.
GILBERT & GEORGE, with the viewer, explore and test their feelings in their art. They see the modern human condition and the daily routines and feelings of their fellow citizens, from all backgrounds. The vision of GILBERT & GEORGE is committed to raw realism, but is also deeply romantic: finding heightened or disturbed emotion in ordinary things, in a way that renders the subjects of their art extraordinary and richly atmospheric; individual, yet connected by common feelings. In every picture and every ‘Living Sculpture’ the viewer sees the bond between GILBERT & GEORGE as profound and absolute. This duality proposes two men brought together by fate as outsiders and seekers-after- truth. Dualism structures the vision and art of GILBERT & GEORGE: two men, one artist; control and loss of control; reactionary and radical; traditional and ultra-modern. The singularity of GILBERT & GEORGE, therefore, derives from their duality.
