Musée du Jeu de Paume
Pierre et Gilles
Musée
du Jeu de Paume, 1 Place de la Concorde, VIIIth, until 23
september 2007.
Pierre the photographer and Gilles, the painter, met in 1976 and began
a collaboration with four eyes which continued until today. Influenced
by American Pop Art, especially the Californian scenery of Wesselman,
they developed a new nourished visual language of kitsch acidulous, of
this blazing baroque of the Eighties which takes his reference marks as
much in the spiritual world that in the popular daily newspaper. They
re-invent the art of the portrait while returning each image luminous,
enriched by conceited colors, of ingenuous and filled with wonder
forms. A perfect gay esthetics, free share, assumed, symbolic,
representative the other century.
