The upcoming exhibition, 'Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES' at Hayward Gallery, celebrates the duo's 25 years of artistic evolution. Known for their living sculptures, the artists focus on societal changes by integrating everyday text and images into their work. The exhibition showcases over 60 large-scale installations, featuring key series and new works that reflect on technology and digital distortion. Rachel Thomas, Chief Curator, emphasizes their unique voice in British art, addressing contemporary social issues and inviting viewers into an immersive experience of modern life through their art.
Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES reaffirms the artists' singular position within the landscape of British art, exploring the complexities of human existence and confronting the social issues of our time.
Their art opens a dialogue about social norms and taboos, things that the pair aren't afraid to challenge, acting as a record of our changing society.
