Faith Curse
1982
"Faith Curse" is a twenty part series by the British artist duo Gilbert & George, created using hand dyed gelatin silver prints presented in the artists' own distinctive frames. The work exemplifies the pair's characteristic approach of combining photography with hand coloring and monumental scale to explore themes of spirituality, morality, and social critique. Like much of their practice from this period, the series demonstrates their engagement with provocative subject matter through a formal language that elevates vernacular or transgressive imagery into high art.
