Gilbert & George are two men, but one artist. Tied to the 2025 exhibition Death Hope Life Fear… at the Gilbert & George Centre in London, this book showcases 18 powerful works by the artist from 1984 to 1998. During this period, Gilbert & George’s art evolved into vivid, confrontational territory, with intense colors and ritualistic energy. Central to the show is the monumental Death Hope Life Fear (1984), a key work from The 1984 Pictures, exploring themes of youth, nature, identity and cosmic balance. The exhibition spans early spiritual pieces from Finding God (1982) to the raw introspection of the Rudimentary Pictures (1998). Bold and uncompromising, Death Hope Life Fear… reaffirms Gilbert & George’s enduring mission to create art that speaks to all.
