Gilbert Prousch

author · designer

Gilbert Prousch is a prominent contemporary artist who works as part of the collaborative duo Gilbert & George. He met his partner, George Passmore, in 1967 while studying sculpture at Saint Martin's School of Art in London. The duo operates as a single artistic entity, creating a body of work that ranges from large-scale paintings and sculptures to graphic designs and performance art. Their work is characterized by its vibrant colors, formal appearance, and the blurring of the line between life and art. Gilbert is known for his contribution to the 'living sculpture' concept where the duo themselves become the subject of the art.[1,2,3]
