Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES Visual Arts @ Hayward Gallery (until Jan 2026)

The Hayward Gallery will present Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES, a landmark exhibition of art by the pioneering London-based artists (7 Oct 2025 11 Jan 2026). The presentation highlights Gilbert & Georges evolution over the past 25 years, exploring how technology has made their reflections of todays society bigger and bolder than ever before. Transforming the space with over 60 floor-to-ceiling installations, the artists will debut new pictures alongside acclaimed pictures in a larger-than-life journey through the modern world as they see it. Gilbert & George are iconic artists, epitomised by their monumental commitment to being living sculptures spanning the last five decades. Inspired by our modern world, they act as visual archaeologists of our times by capturing elements of our changing society. From newspaper headlines to road signs, postcards and overheard conversations, the artists blend images and text from everyday life to create vivid pictures that encourage dialogue about todays social norms and taboos. The resulting art is often provocative and challenging in its refusal to deliver simple messages about sex, religion, class, nationalism, corruption and death.
