Gilbert, born in
Italy, and George, from England met at art college in London in 1967. Soon
after they started working together as performance artists, whose show 'The
Singing Sculpture' consisted of them standing on a table sprayed in gold paint,
miming a well-known song.
From this moment
on, Gilbert and George adopted the identity of 'living sculptures' in both
their art and their daily lives. They are always to be seen wearing their
trademark suit and tie, and they never appear separately in public. In front of
the camera they walk with robotic movements, and their voices sometimes sound
unnatural when they speak. As for their art, their most famous works are huge,
brightly-coloured photo montages on a black grid. Gilbert and George often
feature in these works themselves, along with friends, flowers and other
symbols. In their later work they have experimented with more unusual materials,
which has attracted a great deal of media attention.
Some people
question Gilbert and George's talent and refuse to see the value of their work.
However, in the world of contemporary art they are regarded as two of the very
best. At the age of 65 they are still going strong, as their success in the
2007 exhibition at Tate Modern shows.
