Pierre et Gilles in relation to art history.

Pierre et Gilles are renowned in the art world  for their dewy photographic and painted images. Taking direct inspiration from Religion, Politics and Art History they create an illusion of a time and place that may have existed, simply because their photographs are so convincing. They draw you in. The images themselves hold a renaissance glow. I get the feeling that originally the essence was physical but now is just holds a whisper of mortality and is an almost complete dream, a haze or fantasy.
