		Since beginning their collaboration more than 25 years ago, Pierre et Gilles have produced an iconographic and allegorically complex body of work which has done much to redefine the process of portraiture.
		Applying their global embrace of historical and contemporary references, subjects and symbols, and their matter-of-fact presentation of a vast range of lifestyles to what they refer to as "the idealization of the fixed moment," Pierre et Gilles continue to expand the limits of photography while illustrating the potential of art as a social force.

	glbtq >> arts >> Pierre et Gilles
		The story of Pierre et Gilles--Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard--bears the same fairytale characteristics as much of their work: the young men, both born in the early 1950s in western France, fell madly in love in the mid-1970s after meeting at a party and going home together.
		While Pierre et Gilles's choice of subjects, as well as their stylistic milieu, might suggest a sort of universal humanism of shiny, happy people, the artists are equally interested in imposing on their pictures an explicitly gay (often critical) perspective.
		But beyond that, Pierre et Gilles capture the nuances of modern gay life by casting male subjects who are beautiful but melancholy, in the throes of both pleasure and pain, hunting for illicit encounters, torn by political strife, or haunted by the potential for disease, death, and hatred.

		Beginning with their early celebrity portraits of the late 1970s (Iggy Pop, Yves Saint-Laurent), Pierre et Gilles have created a visual world in which artifice and reality are inseparable.
		Employing props, make-up, costumes, and lighting that emphasize the staged quality of their photographic sets, Pierre et Gilles pursue an ideal beauty in their extravagant, hand-painted photographs that systematically demolishes any distinction between kitsch and expressions of the sublime.
		Both the artists and their subjects seem to insist on the complete believability of their allegorical characters, at the same time as they revel in the evidence that everything in their photographs is an illusion.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Pierre et Gilles
		The art of Pierre and Gilles, affectionately known as PandG, has always been a little suspect, like the work of another modern master of the overwrought, Jeff Koons.
		Pierre takes the picture and blows it up, and then Gilles sets to work altering it, radically overlaying a saturated Technicolor palette on the image, transposing a street hustler into St. Anthony, or Madonna into a perhaps appropriate Medusa.
		Their style most resembles the gaudy paintings of saints common in Mexican folk art, or those blazing, festooned images of Hindu gods available as posters in your local Indian grocery.
