I due papà di Bambi

Francesco Begna

This project was created to pay homage to the artistic career of the famous couple Gilbert & George, and in particular their works about sex discrimination they have pursued for their entire career. The sculpture is made of beeswax. The wooden table and the radio at the feet of the two deer are a direct quotation of the famous opera “singing sculpture”.

Exhibit place San Martin de Tor

The birthplace of internationally renowned pop artist Gilbert Prousch (from the artist duo "Gilbert & George"), in the centre of San Martin de Tor - The artist Gilbert Prousch was born in this house, in the centre of San Martin de Tor, on the 17th of September 1943, exactly seventy years ago. Gilbert Prousch teamed up with British artist George Passmor to form the world's most famous artist duo, "Gilbert & George". The pop artist's link to his hometown has faded over the years. Only a single sculpture stands to mark the creative energy of his youth: his portrayal of the Madonna is still kept in San Martin de Tor.
