They met at a party in Paris in 1976 and have lived and worked together ever since, combining in their art photography (Pierre) and painting (Gilles). Their early portraits have been of personalities like Salvador Dalì, Catherine Deneuve, Claudia Schiffer, Paloma Picasso or Yves Saint-Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier, nowadays they are of Laetitia Casta, Dalida, Juliette Greco and others.
On the frontier between popular iconography and the History of Art, the style of Pierre & Gilles is unique: Pierre & Gilles literally invented a precise and immediately identifiable stylistic territory between painting and photography, installation and stage direction.
