Gilbert and George are an artistic duo, one from Italy and one from England. They appear in their artwork a lot of the time, mixing very formal elements with a sexual undertone. They stick to a very similar format, an almost stained glass window look. The images are very graphic with a grid pattern in the background. The colors are bold and the subject matter always appear created in simple black lines. Some of their work contains a suggestion of Christian imagery. They have had shows all over and won acclaim on the large scale of their images mixed with their daring content.
