The Bride of Christ

The collaboration between photographer Roman Gilz and painter Gordan Nikolic aka Gott Gordan is an important component of their art. GOTT&GILZ envelop provocative nudity in the guise of historical art classics. The female act is a constant in art history, from which we can read the transformation of forms of representation and the erosion of morality. Their references to Klimt, Schiele, and Pollock are explicit. The arrogance in GOTT&GILZ is not a break with traditional forms of representation, but rather a citation of them: the past as an affront.
