Viewers Through The Work of Gilbert and George In this essay I would argue that Gilbert and George are urging us to consider three central concerns. For me‚ these three consist of opening our minds to the artistic aspects of society that we do not normally see‚ shocking us by exposing us to images that we are typically unexposed to and imploring us to be accepting of the concepts that are most commonly unaccepted.
