Folkestone Triennial 2021 - "They Shot Them 2014" by George and Gilbert


For Creative Folkestone Triennial 2021, celebrated artists Gilbert & George have contributed six of their powerful and ever-topical pictures to be exhibited on billboards and poster sites around the town. Gilbert & George began creating art together in 1967 when they met at St Martins School of Art, and from the beginning, in their pictures, films and ‘LIVING SCULPTURE’ they appeared as figures in their own art. The artists believe that everything is potential subject matter for their art and they have always addressed social issues, taboos and artistic conventions. The backdrop and inspiration for much of their art is the modern world. Gilbert & George have lived and created art together in their home in Spitalfields, London, for more than 50 years.
