Biography
Gilbert Prousch and George Passmore met while studying at Saint Martin's School of Art in London in 1967. They quickly established themselves as a collaborative unit, often presenting themselves as living sculptures and adopting a distinctive, uniform-like aesthetic that has remained a central component of their public identity for decades.
Their practice is defined by large-scale, graphic-style photo-based works, often characterized by bold colors and black grid lines. These works frequently explore themes of urban life, identity, and the human condition, utilizing their own images alongside found imagery and architectural motifs to create complex, often provocative visual narratives.
The duo maintains a significant presence in the contemporary art world, marked by the 2023 opening of the Gilbert & George Centre in London, a dedicated space for their work. Their influence continues to be recognized through major institutional exhibitions, including recent inclusions in the Duerckheim collection presentation at the Serralves Foundation and ongoing programming at their own London-based centre.
