Gilbert & George

Gilbert: born in Dolomites, Italy, 1943
George: born in Devon, England, 1942

This British duo were initially known as living sculptures, the suits they ware for these performances became a sort of uniform for them, and they rarely appear in public unless wearing them. It is also unheard of for one of the pair to be seen without the other. The pair are best known for their large scale pictures, brightly coloured, backlit, and overlaid with black grids. Some of the pictures have had attracted media attention because of the shocking imagery.
