Gilbert & George began creating art together in 1967 when they met at Central St Martins, and from the beginning, they have appeared as figures in their work. The ‘two men, one artist’ believe that everything is potential subject matter for art. They address social issues and taboos, challenging what might be considered ‘good taste’. Implicit in their work is the idea that sacrifice and personal investment are necessary conditions of art. The inspiration for much of Gilbert & George’s art is the East End of London where they have lived for nearly fifty years.
