Gilbert & George

Gilbert & George (Born 1943/1942) is active/lives in England, United Kingdom, Italy.  Gilbert George is known for Collaborative geometric-grid symbolic painting.

Working as a duo since 1967, Gilbert & George are best known for avant-garde working methods and conceptual artwork including photo montages---black grids with back lit stained-glass windows that often have religious symbolism.  

Their full names are Gilbert Prousch (Proesch), who was born in San Martino, Italy in 1943, and George Passmore, born in Devon England in 1942.  They met in London in 1967, and working together ever since then, present themselves as vulnerable folk trying to go about their business in a mixed up world that is strange, vulger, abusive and disturbed.

Gilbert Prousch, from Italy, studied art in Austria at the Wolkenstein School of Art and the Hallein School of Art and in Munich.  Then he moved to England.  George Passmore, from Plymouth, England, studied at Dartington Hall College of Art and the Oxford School of Art, which was at Oxford College as a part of the College of Technology that became Oxford Brookes University.
