Gilbert & George — Wheel

Wheel

"Wheel" by Gilbert & George is a striking example of the duo's signature approach to large-scale figurative art, in which their own suited figures are incorporated into a bold, grid-structured composition. The work employs their characteristic use of vivid, confrontational imagery layered with symbolic and social undertones, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of cycle, repetition, and the human condition. As with much of their collaborative practice, the piece blurs the boundary between artist and artwork, life and art.
