Gilbert & George — White Hands

White Hands

"White Hands" by Gilbert & George is a striking work comprising six chromogenic prints displayed in the artists' signature frames, a format that has become central to their distinctive visual language. The piece reflects the duo's characteristic use of bold graphic imagery and intense color to explore themes of the body, identity, and the human condition. As with much of their practice, the work blurs the boundary between the artists themselves and their art, reinforcing their lifelong commitment to the concept of "living sculpture."
