Note du spécialiste

‘We like it very much when the pictures take over. When they’re bigger than the viewer. You go to a museum to look at a picture, but we like it when the picture looks at you... We want to dominate the viewer with the forces of art. Because art can change people. We believe that.’
– Gilbert & George
