Gilbert and George began to create art together, developing a uniquely recognizable style both in their pictures and in their presentations of themselves as living sculptures.Over the forty years they developed a new format that created large scale pictures, which are visually and emotionally powerful, through a unique creative process.
Most of their pictures are created in groups and made especially for the space in which they are first exhibited.Since 1974 Gilbert and George have used their personal complex grid system to create their pictures, which are now developed with the use of sophisticated digital editing techniques.In the early 1980s they began to introduce bold colors into their pictures, with one or more pictures in each group that were created on a monumental scale.
All pictures in a group share common motifs and conceptual and formal elements.
