‘EYE WALL’ was presented in Gilbert & George’s exhibition ‘THE RUDIMENTARY PICTURES’ at MK Gallery, Milton Keynes in 1999. In these pictures Gilbert & George explore such themes as alienation, sex, race, and human existence. Many of these striking pictures extend the distinctive range of images they have created exploring city life. Speaking about The Rudimentary Pictures, Gilbert & George have said: ‘They deal with the thoughts and feelings that lie within us all and with the issues that confront us daily. Our cities, your tears, their money, the rain, our sexuality, your sweat, their views are all in The Rudimentary Pictures.’
