“We like to confront the public with our art,” says Gilbert. And if the public finds their art provocative?
“So what?” he replies. “That’s what it’s for,” adds George. “Artists don’t paint pictures to please people, do they? They’re pleased without the paintings.
Paintings are [meant] to change.” Alastair Sooke, interview with Gilbert & George, The Telegraph, 5 April 2024. www.telegraph.co.uk/art/artists/gilbert-and-george-centre-london-pictures-interview/
