Artists

Pierre et Gilles

Press release

Pierre et Gilles have been producing works together for over forty years, creating dreamlike portraits at the crossroads of painting and photography. Their latest exhibition for Templon Paris, Nuit électrique / Electric Night, underscores the duo’s longevity, the role they play as portraitists of the era and pioneering explorers of LGBTQIA+ questions.
 

Nevertheless, when we reach the point of thinking we know Pierre et Gilles by heart, they inevitably manage to surprise us. Their new paintings, created over the last two years, show us the artists laughing at their iconic status with a gallery of nocturnal, off-beat portraits.
