Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES At the Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery
Discover the duo’s pictures from the past 25 years, with vibrant, large-scale images that centre the human experience and reflect their motto, ‘Art for All’.
This exhibition showcases Gilbert & George’s artistic journey, highlighting new pictures created since the start of the millennium.
Exploring themes of hope, fear, sex, religion, corruption and death, the artworks delve into societal norms and taboos, spanning the mundane and the illicit, with their art challenging boundaries of taste and propriety.
