GOTT&GILZ
The female nude is a constant of art history whose vicissitudes illustrate changing forms of representation and the wild swings of public morality.
GOTT&GILZ’s (Gott Gordan & Roman Gilz) photo graphic paintings build on this long tradition of depictions of naked women by men—theirs is theproverbial “male gaze.” It is a debt they are quick to acknowledge, with nods to Klimt, Schiele, Pollock, et al.
Their impudence lies not in the shattering of traditional norms of representation but in quoting them: the past as affront. The women in the pictures as well as the artists themselves flaunt their desires, shamelessly and relentlessly confronting us with the historic roots of our social and psychological realities. The insolence of it!
It’s 2015, and Roman Gilz, an aspiring photographer, receives an unexpected message on Facebook: ‘Hi, I’m Gordan Nikolic. I admire your photos and want to destroy them.’ For most people, this would be a shock, an absolute no-go. But for Roman, it was the start of an unusual but fascinating artistic collaboration.
The ‘destruction’ turned out to be a creative development. Gordan began to crumble, scratch and redesign Roman’s immaculate prints in a variety of ways.
The two artists saw this not as an act of destruction, but of further development. This led to an exhibition at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig in 2018, and the pXXy PORN brand was born. It later became GOTT&GILZ.
