GILBERT AND GEORGE

“Lustrous, ornate, pictorially complex, vividly coloured, yet suffused with tenebrous solemnity, the SONOFAGODPICTURES have all of the dramatic visual impact which one might expect to find in neo-Gothic medievalism – in Victorian reclamations of Celtic of Moorish symbolism, for example, regally bejewelled and portentous with romantic mysticism. At the same time, however, the SONOFAGOD PICTURES possess a darkly graven strangeness, at once archaic and ultra modern, in which their temper no less than their signage appears deeply contemporary, ritualistic and disturbed” Michael Bracewell

A fully illustrated catalogue, with an essay by Micheal Bracewell, has been published by White Cube to accompany the exhibition.
