Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is delighted to announce the upcoming Gilbert & George exhibition, SCAPEGOAT. BOUC ÉMISSAIRE. SÜNDENBOCK. PICTURES FOR PARIS, in the Paris-Pantin venue.
Specifically conceived for the halls of Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris-Pantin, the exhibition will create a tremendous environment before travelling to several museums.

Over the decades, Gilbert & George have observed the evolution of their East London neighbourhood and our modern world, dealing with the perpetual flux of urban life. In these pictures, the figures are acting in a way, which recalls how Gilbert & George saw themselves as ‘Living sculptures’, binding societal problematics and art together with a deadly serious way of describing a world of intense emotion, past, present and future. These new pictures, all from 2013, reveal a modern western world through Gilbert & George’s sociological environment by exploring the tensions generated by the coexistence and the interaction of its inhabitants.
