500 $aCatalog of an exhibition held at Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles, November 16, 2019-January 25, 2020.
520 $aThe art of Gilbert & George confounds and rejects all art historical classi?cation or af?liation to other schools or movements in art. As af?rmed by the thirty-?ve PARADISICAL PICTURES there is no formalist, aesthetic or conceptual precedent to the ideology and vision they convey with such intensity. The PARADISICAL PICTURES are fantastical, allegorical, narrative, representational, psychedelic, absurdist, modern yet archaic, surrealist-grotesque, in?ected with both tragedy and comedy, ?lled with pathos, touchingly eloquent of human frailty, age and exhaustion. The art of Gilbert & George is a visionary art, above all ? reports from a cosmic journey through life that begins on the streets of London. The PARADISICAL PICTURES suggest a chapter in a story that has been unfolding before them and will continue beyond them. This ?paradise? is not a destination but a stage on a longer journey. It is a dream of paradise and the exploration of an archetype that is both secular and sacred. The paradise of these PARADISICAL PICTURES proposes a more ambivalent view ? a place of biomorphic mutation, exhaustion, watchfulness and possession.00Exhibition: Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles, USA (16.11.2019 - 25.01.2020).
