Gilbert & George in Malaga

Gilbert Proesch (Italian) and George Passmore (British), two great artists, have opened their production “Jack Freak Pictures” in the Contemporary Art Center of Málaga CAC. Both have chosen the Costa del Sol (Spain) to be the first of the six European destinations where they will show their work.

They met in the distinguished St Martin´s School of Art in London where they began working together in 1967. These two geniuses of serious and conservative appearance try to reach all kinds of audience. Their works deal with life, death, sexuality, religion, AIDS, and money. In 1986 they won the memorable Turner Prize, which is a tribute to British artist’s under 50 year’s of age organized by the renowned Tate Gallery in London.

The exhibition in the CAC shows of a series of 62 works of the 153 they have. They highlight the white, red and blue colours, representing the British flag, which is the core of this admirable work. According to these wonderful artists the British flag can mean several different things depending on each person. A curious detail to note is the appearance of both in their paintings – this feature gave them the universal recognition. You can find them in thousands of different ways: dancing, serious, distorted, and so on. One of the finest statements of these fathers of contemporary British art is: “Was Jesus Heterosexual?”

Controversial and ironical, they have a humorist and aggressive point. The exhibition ends with a fabulous movie called “World of Gilbert & George” that you should not miss. They recite The Lord´s Prayer while showing scenes relating to the sentences. They are such incredible images that they will make you reflect about them. This is a very peculiar and representative view of life. It is a powerful movie, with a clear meaning and very easy to see and understand.
