We want our Art to bring out the from inside the Liberal and conversely to bring out the Liberal from inside the Bigot. - Gilbert & George

We think of our art as just pictures, not as photographs. We are using photography, not being photographers.

We like to think that we’re forming our tomorrows, that we’re making pictures that don’t exist in reality, that maybe tomorrow will be a little bit more like our pictures than it would otherwise.

We don't want to know what we are doing. It's much better not to know. You have to express yourselves, once you've finished a group of works you have to start all over again. It's extraordinary stuff - what an artist has to do. You finish a big group of works, then the next day you have to begin again. Forty years we've been doing that.
