Gilbert & George — Spunk Mooning

Spunk Mooning

Gilbert & George's *Spunk Mooning* is a large-scale, multi-panel work composed of hand-coloured gelatin silver prints arranged across 24 framed sections, characteristic of the duo's monumental approach to photography-based art. The work employs their signature grid format and bold, graphic use of colour to explore themes of the body, sexuality, and transgression with confrontational directness. As with much of their practice, Gilbert & George themselves appear as central figures, blurring the boundaries between artist and artwork within a visual language that is simultaneously provocative and formally rigorous.
