The international BRAFA Art Fair proudly welcomed the British duo Gilbert & George at its 2019 edition. The internationally renowned artists are known for their fiercely singular Anti-Art that is poetic, primal and emotionally driven. As Guest of Honour, Gilbert & George presented five large-scale works at the fair. Their humorous side brought colour and dynamism to BRAFA which aimed to promote, more than ever, the idea that ‘Art is for all’, as Gilbert & George themselves have always upheld.
On Thursday 24 January, BRAFA visitors attended a very special lecture by Gilbert & George, in conversation with author Michael Bracewell, about their ‘life in art’, creative process, the evolution of imagery in their pictures, and how their art aims to seduce the viewer with visual power.
In partnership with BOZAR.
Video produced by Matthieu Wolmark of Biapal.
