Gilbert Prousch and George Passmore - more often known as art duo Gilbert & George - have been creating their highly distinctive artwork together for over 50 years. They refer to it all as ‘sculpture’, but theirs is by no means a one-size-fits-all approach: from performance art to drawing, painting and large-scale photography, their oeuvre is enormously rich and varied. The pair, who met in 1967 during their studies at St Martin’s School of Art, have a firmly anti-elitist approach to art, living by the slogan ‘Art for All’. It therefore seems only appropriate that their latest venture is in aid of a charity initiative in East London, where they have lived since 1968.
