A story about this — 2 years ago

Glad I caught this on the last day of the exhibition. I discovered that I like the big, bold graphic stained glass effect Gilbert & George in small doses, but not in big dollops. Being the traditionalist, I actually preferred much of their early work – pastoral scenes, collectable etchings, young be-suited men wandering in empty houses.

The later stuff has it’s place, but for me, it seems that they mainly work their subjects around breaking taboos. They’ve done sex, excrement, christianity, fundamentialism, terrorism. Where can they go to next? Soft-focus florals would really break the mould.
