Pierre et Gilles, Sailors & Sea - Reviews

Page [1]

"Pierre et Gilles festeggiano l'anniversario con una serie di mostre tra Europa e Russia, e un nuovo catalogo celebrativo di TASCHEN. Come medicinali visivi contro sciatteria e intellettualismi, le opere sono accompagnate da un foglietto illustrativo che recita: "I lavori di Pierre e Gilles sono intrinsecamente ambigui. Nonostante ciò, se ne raccomandano letture alternative. Non c'è messaggio, ciò che conta è l'immagine." Arte, Milano Italy

"Another ideal present for your buddy. This reasonable and cute book introduces Pierre and Gilles' amazingly beautiful world, as sweet as raspberry ripple, and as tempting as popcorn. Bizarre and full of obscure significance, lights and glitters, flowers and hearts, the portraits are just like film stills from beautiful melodramas. This perfect collection of kitsch encompasses selections of Pierre et Gilles`s best work." Yes, Tokyo Japan

"Pierre et Gilles. Gilles et Pierre. Voici bientôt trente ans que le duo fonctionne. Pierre photographie, Gilles peint sur ces images. Il n`y a plus qu`à se laisser emporter dans un univers qui ne doit rien à l`outil informatique. Un monde onirique et kitsch. Le panthéon est ici plastiquement homogène et stylistiquement cohérent. Comme en arrière-plan, la mer, élément prépondérant qui « cristallise leur potentiel romanesque ». Au Marin rêveur répond Le capitaine et son petit mousse. Un joli petit livre, intitulé « Sailors & Sea »." Arte News, Bruxelles Belgium

"Welcome to the seductive photographs of Pierre & Gilles. Bizarre and full of obscure significance, glitter, flowers and hearts, these portraits are reminiscent of stills from fairytales of a bygone era and encompass selections from Pierre & Gilles` finest work." Out Front Colorado, Denver United States

"Pierre photographie, Gilles peint. Ils se complètent, ils s`aiment…Depuis près de trente ans, leu duo a immortalisé des éphèbes connus ou anonymes…Cet ouvrage propose une rétrospective de leurs travaux, une sélection du meilleur de l`œuvre des deux artistes souvent qualifiée de kitsch. Bizarres et chargés de significations obscures, leurs portraits scintillants, décorés de fleurs et de coeurs, évoquent des mélos cinématographiques. Nullement nostalgiques, on retrouve les portraits de leur dernière exposition "Le Grand Amour" qui eut lieu à la Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont en 2004. A la fin de cet album photos, une biographie et des photos perso de Pierre et Gilles noujs permettent de pénétrer dans leur intimité : leur maison, leur vie…" Tribu Move, Paris France

"Pierre et Gilles: Sailors & Sea proves to be a fine cross section of the artist`s favorite themes. Especially prominent are figures from Christianity (beautiful interpretations of martyrs, Christ, and Mary) and the gods of ancient mythology. Of course, when one thinks of Pierre et Gilles, first and foremost one expects a world where every guy and girl is pinup calendar caliber and one will not be disappointed in that regard in the least. But be warned—after submerging with these works you might find it hard to come up for air." Metrosource, New York United States

"Since their first work for Thierry Mugler, Pierre & Gilles have been aggressively extending their range of artwork from record jacket to ads for fashion brands. Many icons they created had individual kitsch and beauty, and this book shows their best selection up to now." Barazoku, Tokyo Japan

"This is the best collection of the French duo Pierre and Gilles, who have been posing interesting paradox of their painted photographs with unique style and ultra modern sense. There is no border between pop culture and porn, nor straight and gay in the expression of their beauty." Badi, Tokyo Japan

"Pierre and Gilles are our dmirable French gay partners, privately and professionally. Pierre takes photos and Gilles paints on it, thus their pop, kitsch and sexy artworks are made. Since they first met in Paris 29 years ago, they have been seeking their ideal beautiful objects of works, and found sailors, life-savers, beach boys and themselves surrounded by flowers and glitters. This small book Pierre et Gilles, Sailors and Sea shows their best work. Good selection, handy and suitable for the gift" G-Men, Tokyo Japan

Estupendo acercamiento al universo de esta pareja de fotografos/diseñadores que han ido perfeccionando su estilo y su particular manera de ver el mundo, el glamour y los hombres fatales. Dedicado a los marineros y el mar, se recopila bajo este tema los mejores trabajos de Pierre et Gilles. Intuyo que en breve apareceran nuevos volumenes dedicados a otros temas de la genial pareja. Nota: ¿Por qué no se incluye también el español en esta y otras ediciones como idioma cuando es un libro que se vende aqui en España? Un respeto a los lectores y publicad en el idioma del pais a menos que sea una edicion unica internacional. eldesvandeaarom Spain
