Gilbert & George:

Gilbert was born in the Dolomites, Italy in 1943
and George was born in Devon, UK in 1942.
Triptyque de plus de 25 mètres de long de Gilbert & George. Les deux Britanniques y célèbrent, avec des rouges intenses, la révolution et le militantisme politique. Sur un des panneaux, Gilbert et George, presque 4 mètres de haut chacun, posent de face, un bâton écarlate à la main, l’air résolu. Derrière eux, les buildings de la City. A incendier ? Il y a quelque chose de paradoxal – litote – à voir ainsi hautement annoncée la lutte des classes (« class war ») dans une architecture dont l’ampleur et le dessin rendent si manifestement hommage à la puissance du capitalisme.

Self-portrait with heraldic family weapon
Het zelfportret van 2015 heb Ik geschilderd in Daler-Rowney acrylverf, het blauw en bruin zijn gemengde kleuren. De zwarte romp is een ontwerp, gebruikt bij het portret van Gilbert & George - ooit een abstracte kop, getekend op computer en het origineel gespiegeld, en pas jaren later, in 2013, gezien dat het wat had van Gilbert & George toen ik hen laattijdig ontdekte bij de Herbert Foundation aan de Coupure.
Het blauw van het hoofd symboliseert mijn weelderige haardos, een gezicht is er niet vandaar een witte vlek.. Ik pleeg te zeggen dat ik "niets en niemand" ben (zoals mijn familie het wilde), zo heb ik ook jarenlang het Italiaaanse "uomo senza volto" of "man zonder gezicht" als codenaam gebruikt.
Een wapenschild bij een portret werd vroeger weleens geplaatst bvb bij het portret van Jan Parmentier uit 1627 dat deel uit maakt van de collectie van het Sint-Janshospitaal in Brugge. Mijn heraldisch familiewapen, ook een witte vlek met bruin randje is een metafoor verwijzend naar familieverhalen uit het verleden met een existentiële impact op het heden.
Portretten schilderen is niet mijn specialiteit maar ik heb mijn eigen portret - vanitas vanitatum - wel laten maken door Koen Pattyn in olie op doek, anno 2013, door Sarah Melloul in acryl op doek, anno 2018 en door Helena Cnockaert in een textielwerk, anno 2019.

Friday is mostly the day where you get to lunchtime and figure its all over except you've suddenly got to migrate a portfolio into the wiki by 5 o'clock so that the new senior VP can click the columns and sort it by status. Mind you, you should have done it yesterday, you dunce.
I was going along Fournier Street with my friend, blathering on about Huguenots, the Brick Lane Mosque and various other things, and photographing a few details from the doors of the beautiful old buildings, when I spotted two rather distinguished looking gentlemen and two very young East-Asian girls across the road. I immediately recognised the gentlemen as being Gilbert and George.
I was about to lift my camera again, from my side of the road, when one of the young girls came running across to me with her little point and shoot camera and asked me to take a photo of the four of them.
Gilbert and George looked a little bewildered, but seemed happy to stand for the photograph. I handed the camera back and asked if I could take a photo of just them. They didn't say a word, just stood and posed for me. I thanked them and left them to it.
You can hopefully see from this photo how immaculate they both are. Not a wrinkle in those suits, ties or shirts. And they both have lovely skin - an odd thing to notice maybe, but also an odd thing to be so noticeable.
They do not separate their art from their daily lives so in effect, they are walking art. I imagine this has a lot to do with how they behaved.
I was absolutely delighted to spot them and to get this photo.

The Ferrari 275 was a two-seat front-engined Gran Turismo automobile produced by Ferrari between 1964 and 1968. It used a 3.3 L (3286 cc) Colombo 60° V12 engine and produced 280-300 hp.
The standard 275 GTB coupe was produced by Scaglietti and was available with 3 or 6 Weber twin-choke carburettors. It was more of a pure sports car than the GT name suggested. Some cars were built with an aluminium body instead of the standard steel body. A Series Two version with a longer nose appeared in 1965.

"Gilbert & Georges’ art expresses their own array of feelings and thoughts. Their art is intended to confront, provoke, interrogate, disrupt, inspire, and even de-shock the audience. They prompt visitors to ask vital questions and reflect on their own lives and experiences, and of art. Whilst posing questions that may not be answerable they also encourage visitors to contemplate on the experience of looking at art itself. Yet it is an anarchistic seriousness that forms the essence of their pictures. It serves to engage viewers through contrasts, reversals, paradoxes, or just sheer truth. Gilbert & George are not only the creators of their art but also the central subject, or embodiment, of it. They consider themselves as one artist; seeing, experiencing and celebrating life with a singular vision. Gilbert & George are the art of Gilbert & George, and life of Gilbert & George is art."

This girl seemed to personify "cool Brittania" so I turned her into a small hommage to the superstar artists Gilbert & George and Tracey Emin who live in Fournier Street just off Brick Lane.
Brick Lane is uber cool and world famous for its graffiti, which features artists such as Banksy, D*Face and Ben Eine. The lane has been used in many music videos such as "Glory Days" by Just Jack and "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers.
It also plays host to Jewish bagel shops, Indian sari silks and artists' studios. Walking down Brick Lane of an evening can feel a bit like running the gauntlet with touts trying to lure you into their curry houses but it's all part of the fun. The vibrant mix of communities and activities lends an off-beat vibe that attracts young Londoners who gravitate towards bars and clubs.

"La Fondation d'entreprise Louis Vuitton, anciennement Fondation d'entreprise Louis Vuitton pour la création, lancée en octobre 2006, a été créée par le groupe LVMH et ses maisons. Elle a pour objectif de promouvoir l’art et la culture et de pérenniser les actions de mécénat engagées depuis 1990 par le groupe.
Le bâtiment, conçu par l'architecte Frank Gehry, est situé au Jardin d'acclimatation, dans le bois de Boulogne. L'inauguration a eu lieu le 20 octobre 2014."

"The building of the Louis Vuitton Foundation (previously Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, in French "Fondation Louis-Vuitton pour la création"), started in 2006, is an art museum and cultural center sponsored by the group LVMH and its subsidiaries but run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity as part of its promotion of art and culture.
The $143 million museum in Paris has recently been completed and is opened in October 2014. The new building was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, and is adjacent to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris."

Artists Gilbert Prousch (left) and George Passmore in Brick Lane, London E1, 08 June 2014.
When does street art end and fine art begins? It is hard to make that distinction anymore, and the pieces seen at ABHK certainly reflects the trend.
For over 40 years, two artists in the UK collaborated under the name “Gilbert & George,” which is comprised of Gilbert Proesch (b. 1943-09-17 in San Martin de Tor, Italy) and George Passmore (b. 1942-01-08 in Plymouth, UK).
This mixed media painting titled “Jacksie” were done in 2008, when both artists are well in their 60s, but there is no shortage of WTF in their work—which has elements similar to that of graffiti seen on the streets of London except that they are shown in well known galleries.
It is awesome to find a partner in crime—life long marriage in art. Sweet.

"Gilbert & George (born 1943 and 1942, respectively) began living and creating art together after meeting as students at St. Martin’s School of Art, London, in 1967. Shortly after, they presented themselves as The Singing Sculpture which included standing on a table, with their hands and faces covered in metallic powder, and singing along in unison to a well-known British popular song “Underneath the Arches” (1932).
Regarding themselves as ‘living sculptures’ they continue to live side-by-side dressed formally in suits with a friendly demeanour, embracing good manners, and respect for social conventions whilst at the same time asserting libertarian values.
Gilbert & Georges’ maxim is ‘Art For All’. With this they reject an elite view of art, preferring their art has relevance to the lives of non-art world citizens. In order to achieve this they haven chose a life of isolation and independence to avoid outside distractions. They believe everything you need to know about their art can be seen in the pictures. For this reason too, they underline that there is no right or wrong interpretation of their art.
Their art embodies a palette of contradictions and extremes; madness and normality, the reactionary and radical, and the traditional and ultra-modern. With this their art has never lost its relevance to youth over the decades. It remains timelessly modern, confrontational and yet poetic.
Gilbert & George have creating art in a range of media including drawing, painting, posing, writing, filming and creating pictures. Since the early 1970s they have created art in which each picture in a group, or series, shares common motifs and conceptual and formal elements. In the early 1980s their pictures took on bold colours on a monumental scale.
During the last decades they have had major museum shows and received honours and awards and prizes worldwide."
