"We are two people, but one artist."
Gilbert Prousch, born in Italy in 1943, and George Passmore, born in England a year earlier, met at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London. An artistic story was born, a merry marriage of their friendship and their lives. The duo achieved worldwide fame by turning themselves into stylized works of art. In their performances and photographic works, they connect art to life, artist to viewer. Thus is their work anchored to reality. A recomposed reality, however, whether in performances or photomontages, the fragment being an essential characteristic of their work. Referential fragments, symbols, and allusions to the modern world spark a discourse on their vision of contemporary reality, its violence, its mysteries, its dynamics, and its beauties. Their motto "art for all" is expressed in each of their artistic achievements and ambitions which describe the intensity of a universal experience, that of living in a modern world.
